Starting This Wednesday!“Drama Queens” The three great Athenian tragedians—Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides—gave a powerful new expressiveness and a profound interiority to the heroines of myth. In this three-week course, we’ll cover Agamemnon, where Aeschylus gives Clytemnestra a notable complexity, at once deeply sympathetic and horrifyingly violent; Sophocles’ Electra—a remarkably acute portrayal of Clytemnestra's traumatized young daughter, Electra; and Hecuba and Trojan Women by Euripides, famous above all in antiquity for his portrayals of “women on the verge.” Three one-hour sessions: November 5, 12, and 19. All sessions will start at 7pm EST. Full members and auditors will have access to recordings of each session, which may be viewed after the live sessions conclude. “Drama Queens” will resume in 2026            Madame Bovary and Italian OperaMadame Bovary, Lucia di Lammermoor, La Traviata, and Madame Butterfly Twentieth-Century TheaterEugene O’Neill, Tennessee Williams, and Edward Albee Also available: our next panel discussion with Fintan O’Toole The Emergency Court |
