This joyous day, dear Lord, with joy begin, And when we could no longer stay, And grant that we, for whom thou diddest die, Weeping upon my neck she fell, Being with thy dear blood clean washed from sin, Oh, send me news from far away, May live forever in felicity; Farewell, sweet heart, farewell, Sweet heart of mine, farewell.

  • Americans Use Greek Tragedy: Great Expectations on Stage
    Americans Use Greek Tragedy: Great Expectations on Stage MARIANNE MCDONALD Foley has given us a useful, updated account of Greek tragedy in America.* She knows Greek, has taught Greek literature, has seen many plays, has written volumes of interpretations, and obviously has made this study her life’s work. As she shows, this can be a frustrating busi- ness—the reason this review alludes to Dickens’ novel (Great Expectations)—because of the exasperating differ- ence that can arise between what one wants and what one gets, particularly when playwrights who know little Greek, less poetry, and care nothing about choral music and dance seek to “reimagine” Greek tragedy. The results can be tragi- comic, if not tragic. Having taught all of Greek tragedy, having translated it from the Greek (some with J. Michael Walton), and, since 1999, having had performances—in San Diego and around the world—of over thirty versions and translations, I have come to the conclusion that the original masterpieces still surpass all translations and versions, unless written by a true master of the theatre who has lived, eaten, and breathed the- atre—like Racine, O’Neill, Cocteau, Anouilh, Soyinka, Fu- gard, or Friel. The exceptions, then, are those playwrights who have read Greek tragedy (preferably in the original), understood the plays, and have been profoundly moved by them to the *Helene Foley, Reimagining Greek Tragedy on the American Stage (Sather Classical Lectures, v. 70; Berkeley, Los Angeles, London: University of California Press, 2012; A Joan Palevsky Book in Clas- sical Literature), xv + 375 pages, $95.00, hardcover.
