Inspired by the Euripides classic, this modern version of the epic story was created by the company of actors in a creative collaboration with director David Bridel. Movement, music and original text combine to forge a contemporary, smart and powerful tale.
Among the denizens of Nick’s Pacific Street Saloon, Restaurant and Entertainment Palace at the foot of Embarcadero, San Franscisco circa 1939 are Joe, a melancholy regular, and his friend Tom, an eager-to-please disciple of Joe’s philosophies who carries a torch for Kitty Duval, a fragile streetwalker.
