Andrew Kuchling<p>Washington City Paper: Scena Theatre Offers an Extraordinary Retelling of Sophocles’ Ajax</p><p>I've enjoyed Scena's past productions -- the ones I've seen have been intense and sometimes violent; they've been kind of punk.</p><p>"The production is an extraordinary one, with a strong cast guided by a strong vision. McNamara and movement consultant Curtis have created a stylized movement vocabulary for this show that at times recalls the discrete and focused movements of both Noh and the corporeal mime of Etienne Decroux. </p><p>Ceville, his neck and torso splattered with stage blood, gives a muscular performance, both literally and figuratively, displaying the power that makes his former comrades frightened of what he might do next, yet clearly aware of the shame and dishonor his actions have brought.

Dustin Kiyeon Chang<p>Phaedra is a retelling of a classical Greek tragedy of a woman falling in love with her stepson, set in modern day Greece. Dassin deftly directs this handsome, high melodrama. His wife and muse Melina Mercoury is marvelous as a tragic heroine with her striking features and Eartha Kitt purrs. Perkins has never been as charming as Alexis the carefree art student. <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/phaedra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>phaedra</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/greektragedy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>greektragedy</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/JulesDassin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JulesDassin</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/anthonyperkins" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anthonyperkins</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/MelinaMercoury" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MelinaMercoury</span></a></p>
