THE PERSIANS

By AESCHYLUS / ROBERT AULETTA

The Persians is the earliest of Aeschylus’ surviving plays and the first play in recorded history.  It recounts the historical tragedy of the Greek defeat of the Persians at Salamis in 480 b.c.  Aeschylus sets the play from the rare point of view of the Greek adversary.  This modern adaptation by esteemed Yale Professor and playwright Robert Auletta sets the action in Iraq.  We await the arrival of King Xerxes who has brought about the downfall his father’s empire with unbridled hubris.  It’s a play about the question of war – war guided by arrogance, greed and honor while humanizing its terrorist enemy.
