JUST REVIEWED
Extensive program notes from Alexander Harrington, artistic director of The Eleventh Hour Theatre Company, explicate the argument for their current adaptation of Aeschylus's Agamemnon, for which Harrington serves as director and translator. Embracing Aristotle's insistence that tragic dialogue play in iambic trimester, Harrington has crafted a production intended to be severely faithful to Aeschylus's original linguistic intent. Openly acknowledged as "an experiment in what adhering to the meters will yield," this adaptation suffers from a largely unintelligible presentation.
