The concept of Ajax in Iraq by Ellen McLaughlin is one that instantly intrigues. Taking the classic Sophocles legend and drawing parallels to the war in Iraq certainly raises an eyebrow or two. That being said, even though I am sure this play is an engaging read, when put into the hands of the masterful Flux Theatre Ensemble it becomes all encompassing. Flux has chosen to call it's current season of theatre 'Don't Look Away' and this very accurately describes the inner monologue of the audience at this fascinating production. It's rare to have an experience at the theatre that won't let you go, but this is one of those occasions.
Flux Theatre Ensemble will present the New York Premiere of Ellen McLaughlin's (The Persians; Helen) AJAX IN IRAQ, June 3-25 at Flamboyan Theater at the Clemente Soto Velez Cultural & Educational Center (107 Suffolk Street at Rivington).
