New rock musical

An outcry against tyranny, Prometheus Bound illustrates the struggle against the brute force of a ruthless dictator.

Written by Tony and Grammy Award-winning playwright and lyricist

Steven Sater (Spring Awakening), with music by Grammy Award-winning System of a Down lead singer Serj Tankian, featuring two-time Tony nominee Gavin Creel and Lea DeLaria.

A.R.T. Artistic Director Diane Paulus stages this world premiere production in OBERON, immersing the audience in an environment that has the Dionysian energy and rebelliousness of a rock concert.

Acclaim from audience members:

"PHENOMENAL. I just got back and I still have chills." - Dylan H.
