Sophocles done as Noh and Indonesian shadow puppet play by a stone theatrical genius. And holy shit, how fortuitous that this should be playing right now: the parallels to our current situation here in the U.S. could not be more manifest (and, of course, could never have been intended).

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: After the evening shows, or for brunch before the Sunday show if you must, have light post-Nouvelle Cusine at Jean-Georges Vongerichten's old standby JoJo, at one long-ago time the best restaurant in New York.

Later Event: September 30
Gershwin: Porgy and Bess
