Join us for a reading of "Iphigenia in Aulis" with the adaptation author Edward Einhorn and actors. "Iphigenia in Aulis" is a collaboration between Edward Einhorn (translator/adaptor) and Eric Shanower (artist) in order to create a play on paper: an illustrated version of the play using the conventions of graphic novels, which allows the reader to envision how it might work as a staged production as they read.
