Tickets on sale today: Ajax

A new translation of the rarely performed tragedy

All preview tickets $35

As the great warrior Ajax recovers from a night of madness, he struggles to live with the consequences of his crazed violence and with the trauma of war. A poignant examination of how combat affects the mind of a soldier, Sophocles' tragedy speaks directly to our times.

Benson's 2008 production of Sarah Kane's Blasted was acclaimed by critics:

"Astounding drama...impeccably staged...registers off the Richter scale." -Ben Brantley, The New York Times

"Simultaneously devastating and sublime." -The New Yorker

A world premiere translation of this classic work, under the direction of Obie Award-winning director Sarah Benson.
