Moments After Aias

By Sophocles, adapted by Andrew Watkins

"Moments After Aias" is a free adaptation of the Sophocles tragedy, adapted and directed by Andrew Watkins and co-produced by four Brooklyn theatre companies.

As a decade of war draws to a close, Aias faces the devastating loss of his closest friend and the betrayal of his commanders. Consumed by rage and despair, he commits an act of unspeakable violence. "Moments after Aias" combines classical and contemporary voices to show how a community narrates and remembers tragedy in moments of ideological fracture. Freely adapted and directed by Andrew Watkins, this production was co-produced by JACK, What Will the Neighbors Say?, Hamlet Isn't Dead and Sanguine Theatre Company.
