About this show
What happens when the Queen (really) wants her step son, the Prince? Drums. Movement. Taboo! Euripides' shocking Greek tragedy, Hippolytos, presented in a poetic and percussion-based adaptation by the Burbank H.S. Drama troupe and its award-winning director. Witness this powerful choral work, inspired by theatre icons Jerzy Grotowski, Frederico G Lorca, and Carol Churchill in telling the mythic tale of forbidden love.
