This book traces modern versions and adaptations of Greek tragedies in the recent past. The author provides a survey of the most significant and characteristic drama and shows how classically-based dramas reflected the chaotic decade in which they had been written, both through their form and the artist's vision they depicted. After the culture of the 1950s had embraced Freudian language and comfort so readily, the departure from this norm in the 1960s left the ancient heroes and heroines free to be "themselves" again. This decade was more hospitable to a dark view of life as the playwright moved away from the fate of the individual towards the fate of humankind as a whole. The widespread mistrust of technology as a solution to problems led to a romantic vision of primitive life and the recreation of the power in Greek tragedy by re-introducing its supposed ritual origins. Plays discussed include: The Prodigal by Jack Richardson, Prometheus Bound by Robert Lowell, Heracles by Archibald MacLeish, Dionysus in '69 by The Performance Group, Antigone by The Living Theatre, and The Orphan by David Rabe.

This book explores the emergence of Greek tragedy on the American stage from the nineteenth century to the present. Despite the gap separating the world of classical Greece from our own, Greek tragedy has provided a fertile source for some of the most innovative American theater. Helene P. Foley shows how plays like Oedipus Rex and Medea have resonated deeply with contemporary concerns and controversies—over war, slavery, race, the status of women, religion, identity, and immigration. Although Greek tragedy was often initially embraced for its melodramatic possibilities, by the twentieth century it became a vehicle not only for major developments in the history of American theater and dance but also for exploring critical tensions in American cultural and political life. Drawing on a wide range of sources—archival, video, interviews, and reviews—Reimagining Greek Tragedy on the American Stage provides the most comprehensive treatment of the subject available.
