Nightingale Presents THE DRINKING GAME 4/9-24

The Nightingale Theater presents THE DRINKING GAME on Fridays and Saturdays from April 9 through April 24 the Nightingale Theater. THE DRINKING GAME is a new translation and staging of Plato's Symposium by the Midwestern Theater Troupe.

With stunning simplicity and clarity, Plato's classic masterpiece depicts the brilliant luminaries of the Greek world enjoying witty, provocative, and slightly drunken discourse, on the virtues of Love. Plato provides not only a contemporary portrait of such legends as Socrates, Aristophanes, and Alcibiades, but also demonstrates the famous Socratic Method in action, and offers a charming yet profound analysis of love, sex, and eroticism.

This production features an original translation by local scholar Amy Page Wilson, and is adapted for the stage by John Cruncleton. Wilson and Cruncleton's last collaborative foray into the world of Ancient Greece was 2006's "The Cyclops", an original translation and shadow-puppet adaptation of Euripides' satyr play. Performances will begin at 8 PM and run until 10 PM.

Tickets for these productions will be $10.
