Past and present collide in this mash-up of Sophocles’ classic tragedy Ajax with the modern-day Iraq war.

The play follows the parallel narratives of Ajax, an ancient Greek military hero, and A.J., a female American soldier serving in Iraq. Both are models of valor in combat, and both pay a price for their valor as they struggle within themselves.

A surreal and powerful play, AJAX IN IRAQ, asks you to consider who the real enemy is, if it is not war itself.

Ajax in Iraq will be performed at St. John’s Episcopal Church 321 Chestnut Street, Lancaster, PA
