Following a reading of Alexandra Silber's "Antigone" in last year's Loose Leaf Reading Series, Dutch Kills has commissioned a three-part Greek Tragedy project.

Dutch Kills writes: "Silber's writing is sensitive and innovative. She has a gift for generating images that assail the senses and a knack for demonstrating the urgent relevance in what seem, on the surface, to be obscure and dated classical dilemmas. Abolishing the comfortable distances of time, she even succeeds in interweaving occasional poems and lyrics from modern times without sacrificing the harmony of her art. This year we will be in development and we plan to present a three-week event in Fall, 2016. Before that, 2015 will see readings in February, April and September."

A reading is set for February 2 at the National Opera Center. For additional information, visit: alley@dutchkillstheater.com

The project will be directed by Sheryl Kaller, featuring: John Cullum, Alphonse Gonzales, Jeb Kreager, Peter Scolari, Tracy Shayne, Alexandra Silber, Alexandra Socha and Jason Tam.
