Achilles in Sparta
8 Male, 6 Female
Sharr White Price: $8.00
A tragedy has befallen a great city and a country girds for war
Helen, the national figurehead of beauty and hope, has been abducted from Sparta, and its young men and women - those most likely to do the fighting, and mourning - ready themselves for struggle
Developed expressly for young actors, Achilles in Sparta uses short, highly theatrical scenes and monologues to tell the story of a nation marching towards inevitable conflict and the fall of a hero
With variable casting possibilities intended to meet the needs of a group of any size, from small class productions to conservatory productions with large casting demands, Achilles in Sparta provides an engrossing entry-way into the classics through an emotionally accessible and linguistically rich theatrical experience that explores the joys and challenges of stagecraft and acting
