520 a| "Reclaiming Greek Drama for Diverse Communities features the work of Native-American, African-American, Asian-American, Latinx, and LGBTQ theatre artists who engage with social justice issues in seven adaptations of Sophocles' Antigone, Euripides' Trojan Women, Hippolytus, Bacchae, Alcestis, and Aristophanes' Frogs, as well as a work inspired by the myth of the Fates. Performed between 1989 and 2017 in small theatres across the US, these works raise awareness about the trafficking of Native American women, marriage equality, gender justice, women's empowerment, the social stigma surrounding HIV, immigration policy, and the plight of undocumented workers. The accompanying interviews provide a fascinating insight into the plays, the artists' inspiration for them, and the importance of studying classics in the college classroom. Readers will benefit from an introduction that lays out practical ways to teach the adaptations, ideas for assignments, and the contextualization of the works within the history of classical reception. Serving as a key resource on incorporating diversity into the teaching of canonical texts for Classics, English, Drama and Theatre Studies students, this anthology is the first to present the work of a range of contemporary theatre artists who utilise ancient Greek source material to explore social, political, and economic issues affecting a variety of underrepresented communities in the US"--c| Provided by publisher.;

Abstract	"Reclaiming Greek Drama for Diverse Communities features the work of Native-American, African-American, Asian-American, Latinx, and LGBTQ theatre artists who engage with social justice issues in seven adaptations of Sophocles' Antigone, Euripides' Trojan Women, Hippolytus, Bacchae, Alcestis, and Aristophanes' Frogs, as well as a work inspired by the myth of the Fates.
