Wollicott's Traveling Rabbit's Foot Minstrels

The play is, in effect, the main character's monologue, for material that might otherwise be dramatized comes to us through her narration as she tells us of a party thrown by herself and her husband, and events leading up to it. Carrie and those with whom she is closest are of a generation unable to connect with one another with any ease, and therein lies their problem. Monologues are what they do best. THE EURIPIDEADS is an evening of theatre comprised of two works, Time Went By, But Slowly, a sendup of "Alcestis" by Euripides, and Wollicott's Traveling Rabbit's Foot Minstrels, a sendup of his "Iphigenia In Taurus". The plays can be mounted individually, but they benefit from a mounting in tandem. They then provide an evening's entertainment that means to put the most central presuppositions about the world held by the Ancients in the hands of Generation Xers - among these presuppositions, that order was available in the cosmos, that no matter how capricious the gods might be there is always reason to believe in justice in the world, that salvation at the hands of the gods was always a possibility.
