During the past century; the interpretation given by the various directors staging Greek drama has varied; and the critical reception accorded the productions has also altered. While the texts of Aeschylus; Sophocles; and Euripides remain constant; the meanings drawn from their plays do not. The director who decides to offer a Greek tragedy in the modern American commercial theater believes in the ability of the text to reach the contemporary audience; and the reviewers assess the success of the venture: their words become a record of both a particular performance and the time in which it played. Hartigan explores how drama and society interact and witnesses the continued vitality of the Greek tragedy.
