Wollicott's Traveling Rabbit's Foot Minstrels
Setting: An upscale sun-belt
community
Cast: 4 females, 4 males
Plot Summary: The play
is, in effect, the main character's monologue, for material that might
otherwise be dramatized comes to us through her narration as she tells
us of a party thrown by herself and her husband, and events leading up
to it. Carrie and those with whom she is closest are of a generation
unable to connect with one another with any ease, and therein lies their
problem. Monologues are what they do best.
THE EURIPIDEADS is an evening
of theatre comprised of two works, Time Went By,
But Slowly, a sendup of "Alcestis" by Euripides,and Wollicott's Traveling
Rabbit's Foot Minstrels, a sendup of his "Iphigenia In Taurus". The plays
can be mounted individually, but they benefit from a mounting in tandem.
They then provide an evening's entertainment that means to put the most
central presuppositions about the world held by the Ancients in the hands
of Generation Xers - among these presuppositions, that order was available
in the cosmos, that no matter how capricious the gods might be there is
always reason to believe in justice in the world,that salvation at the
hands of the gods was always a possibility.
