EKU Theatre proudly presents Ajax in Iraq. Please note time change- 7:30 PM for evening performances. Past and present collide in Ellen McLaughlin's mash-up of Sophocles' classic tragedy Ajax with the modern-day war in Iraq. The play follows the parallel narratives of Ajax, an ancient Greek military hero, and A.J., a modern female American soldier, both undone by the betrayal of a commanding officer. Athena, goddess of war, coolly presides over the whole. Inspired by material collected from interviews with Iraq war veterans and their families, Ajax in Iraq explores the timeless struggle soldiers face in trying to make sense of war. Tickets online at www.theatre.eku.edu
Box office open in Campbell 12-4 PM Sept 25-29 and 1 hour before each show. Ajax in Iraq is not suitable for children. Audience members are cautioned that the show involves mature language, and content, and subject matter that may not be suitable for all.
