Vox Humana Productions is proud to announce the world premiere of “Greek Tragedy…Film at 11!”, written and directed by Steve Oreste.
“Greek Tragedy…Film at 11!” is a serio-comic satire of today’s fascination with tabloid media using a modern adaptation of Aeschylus’ “The Oresteia”.
As the tragic events unfold throughout the play, (between commercials, of course), the traditional Greek chorus is represented by two intrepid reporters working for Argos Live, Argos’ #1 show for news and entertainment. The play concludes with the “trial of the millennium” in which the audience decides the fate of the characters!
“Greek Tragedy…Film at 11!” originated as Steve Oreste, a Vox Humana company member, decided to do a modern re-working of the play that carries his namesake and to expose more people to classic literature. Working through staged readings, as well as an invitation for the public to hear and comment on an earlier version, Vox Humana is pleased to bring one of their members’ vision to life.
“Greek Tragedy…Film at 11!” features the talents of Wendy Arimah, Jacqueline Axton, Jason Bohan, Dina Demetrius, Shyla Huber, Katherine Martin, Lucie McGrane, Chas Mitchell, Chris Mur, Jenna Pinkham, Robert Ryan and is produced by Erin Underwood and Colleen McFadden.
The show opens Saturday September 6th and runs Thursday through Sunday evenings until Sunday October 5th at the newly remodeled Pico Playhouse located at 10508 W. Pico Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90064. For reservations please call 323-769-5794.
We look forward to seeing you at the show!!
