DePauw Theatre
2020/21 Production Season
Ajax: The Wounds of War
by Sophocles
Directed by Caroline Good
For the past twenty years, since 9/11, so many of our modern warriors have come home from Afghanistan and Iraq with more than just outward scars, but dealing with the internal wounds of PTSD. This contemporary interpretation of Sophocles’ powerful ancient Greek play centers on a once great warrior stripped of his honor and driven to his untimely death by those scars.
