The Gracious Sisters

First Stage

FIRST STAGE 

— By Alice Austen; A free adaptation of The Eumenides, by Aeschylus — 

When archaeological intern Alice falls down an ancient Greek rabbit hole, she discovers the aftermath of a violent murder, with the goddesses of vengeance, or “Furies,” chasing down the accused to exact bloody retribution. Athena, the goddess of wisdom (and war), persuades the Furies that the accused should have a fair trial before a jury. When the jury is divided in a split decision, all must come to terms with the balance of a desire for vengeance, and the need for grace. Recommended for families with young people ages 13+
