This half-unit intensive involves three stages, culminating in a production of a new translation of Sophocles’ Women of Trachis. Admission is by audition at the end of the fall semester.

The second stage involves rehearsal and recording of an audio version of the play. This recording will accompany the publication of the text by Lever Press.
