Midwestern Theater Troupe presents THE DRINKING PARTY - A new translation and staging of Plato's Symposium by Midwestern Theater Troupe.

With stunning simplicity and clarity, Plato's classic masterpiece depicts
the brilliant luminaries of the Greek world enjoying witty, provocative, and
slightly drunken discourse, on the virtues of Love. Plato provides not only a contemporary portrait of such legends as Socrates, Aristophanes, and Alcibiades, but also demonstrates the famous Socratic Method in action, and
offers a charming yet profound analysis of love, sex, and eroticism.

This production features an original translation by local scholar Amy Page
Wilson, and is adapted for the stage by John Cruncleton. Wilson and
Cruncleton's last collaborative foray into the world of Ancient Greece was
2006's "The Cyclops", an original translation and shadow-puppet adaptation
of Euripides' satyr play.
