BBT is proud to announce the world
premiere of The Hecubae. Playwrights
Rebekah Walendzak and Jeffrey Bouthiette
have created a wholly new narrative uniting
Euripides’ classic tragedy Hecuba with a
modern day refugee camp. The production
debuts on Sat, August 8, 2009 at the West
Stage of the Raven Theatre Complex (6157
North Clark Street). Director Jeffrey
Bouthiette and an ensemble of seven
women explore the question, “What
remains after war?” Their narrative weaves
the setting and style of Euripides’ tale with
stories of contemporary refugees to parallel
and illustrate the plight of women prisoners
of war across history. Utilizing
improvisational techniques and
dramaturgical research from current
refugee situations, the playwrights have
collaborated with the cast of The Hecubae
to develop an original theatrical work.
