The performances featured crisp new translations by coartistic director Joseph Shragge, large casts, and full-throated sung choruses. \n Scapegoat Carnivale's trilogy of these familiar but rarely performed plays is at the core of this volume, which includes all three novel play scripts, the company's stage directions, and helpful annotations that elucidate Greek names and cultural references and place the textual choices in the context of the productions themselves.
