Photo Flash: First Look at FringeNYC Production of IPHIGENIA AMONG THE TAURIANS

Everyday Inferno is thrilled to offer this glimpse of IPHIGENIA AMONG THE TAURIANS, and to welcome audiences to the final three Fringe performances this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday! BroadwayWorld has your first look at the FringeNYC production below!

The free outdoor production is a world premiere adaptation of Euripides' powerful and thought-provoking Greek tragicomedy, employing buoyant contemporary language and... a-cappella pop music.

In a strange land, where foreign visitors are sentenced to death, a group of captive women dream of escape, revenge, and the homes they left behind. Saved from sacri?ce by the goddess Artemis, Iphigenia serves as priestess in the temple at Tauris. Orestes, the last son of the House of Atreus, arrives on their shore on a doomed mission. What threads hold these desperate individuals together? Only the Gods know for sure. Led by mighty female characters, and infused with unexpected humor and warmth, Iphigenia Among the Taurians is a story of forgiveness, the unbreakable bonds of family, and the power of love over even the most potent grief.

Summit Rock (Central Park's highest point!) can be reached via B or C train to the 81st St/Central Park West entrance of the park, then up the first path on the left. Performances are August 12th-14th and 19th-21st, 2016 all at 6:30pm. For more information on the production, visit www.everydayinferno.com
