Stan Wojewodski Jr., dean of the School of Drama and artistic director of the Yale Repertory Theatre, has announced final selections for the 2002 spring season.
The schedule includes the Obie Award-winning "Betty's Summer Vacation" by Christopher Durang, directed by Doug Hughes, Feb. 7-March 2; "Serious Money" by Caryl Churchill, which also won an Obie Award for Best Play, directed by Jean Randich and featuring the graduating acting class of the School of Drama, March 21-April 13; and "Iphigenia at Aulis" by Euripides, directed by Rebecca Bayla Taichman, April 25-May 18.
"Our spring 2002 schedule is complete," says Wojewodski. "Here are three plays not only extraordinary in their own right but which, as a group, also provide an opportunity for artists and audiences to explore issues of national identity and global politics.
"In 'Betty's Summer Vacation,' Christopher Durang takes on our unslakeable thirst for lurid scandal, celebrity gossip, indeed, any news of fresh disaster. 'Serious Money,' Caryl Churchill's trenchant satire exposing the wages of greed in the early '80s' financial markets, goes a long way to explaining how we got where we are today. And Euripides' 'Iphigenia at Aulis' is a nearly two-and-a-half-millennium-old meditation on the causes and uses of war that is also powerful drama and among the most moving poetry ever written for the theater."
Individual tickets for the Yale Rep spring season are currently on sale and range in price from $22 to $39.
