Bryan Doerries made these translations for use with his Theater of War and they are in highly idiomatic English and honed for specific audiences, so I somehow doubt they would meet with a purist's approval. But as a lay reader, and having never read any of these plays previously, I have to say I found them very affecting, most especially the three by Sophocles. "Ajax" and "Philoctetes" are used by Doerries with military audiences to speak to the experiences of anger, betrayal, madness, and PTSD in soldiers. "Women of Trachis" is used with those dealing with end-of-life issues, including assisted suicide. "Prometheus Bound" has been successful with groups of prison employees and, maybe, prisoners. I read them keeping in mind how they are used by Doerries: as dramatic readings meant to, as he says, "comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable".

These contemporary translations of four Greek tragedies speak across time and connect readers and audiences with universal themes of war, trauma, suffering, and betrayal. Under the direction of Bryan Doerries, they have been performed for tens of thousands of combat veterans, as well as prison and medical personnel around the world. Striking for their immediacy and emotional impact, Doerries brings to life these ancient plays, like no other translations have before. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
