Opening Tonight! EKU Theatre presents Ajax in Iraq. 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 are available by clicking "More on this Announcement" 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 staged violence, and subject matter that is not suitable for all audience members.
