Description:

Full Length, Tragedy / 8m, 4f

Produced in modern dress in New York with Katherine Cornell and Sir Cedric Hardwicke, the Galantiere version of the Greek legend comes from a Paris that suffered under the heel of tyranny. The play's parallels to modern times are exciting and provocative.

"Its dimensions are noble, its intentions uncompromising."-Southwestern University, Texas
