When you fire the decadence of CABARET with the passion of the ORESTEIA, the perfect tragedy of ALL MY SONS with the high ideas and low comedy of HENRY IV, the dark framing lens of MARAT/SADE with the twisted imagination of AMERICAN GODS, what comes out of the kiln? Coming to NY in the summer of 2019, THE COMEDIAN’S TRAGEDY sees a young, troubled Aristophanes walking through the twilight of his civilization, an Athens wracked with plague, war, drugs, sex, and a dark fog of nihilism slowly eating away at her light. When a young Persian woman, the enemy of his people, demands that he save Greece from herself, Aristophanes must stand and fight: for the past, for the future, and against Gods who might be more than statues in a temple.
