| Publisher Description: This collection includes two short plays: A TIME TO DIE and A TIME TO LIVE. A TIME TO DIE might be regarded as a Sophocles Variation, inspired as it is by the ANTIGONE of Sophocles, and A TIME TO LIVE as a Euripides Variation being inspired by the ANDROMACHE of Euripides. This edition brings both into the twenty-first century. "Both plays] are fascinating." -Kevin Kelly "I experienced a powerful grip of terror and pity ... A TIME TO DIE carries its message for today with enormous poetry." -Lee Baxandall "They are so witty and so young." -George Tabori "A rejuvenating experience." -Joseph Chaikin "Nothing that I know of in recent theatre touches quite the moral depth of these plays." -Tom F. Driver "Steeped in human passions on many levels, A TIME TO LIVE is a challenging play, an evocative play, and finally, a noble play." -Stanley Richards |
