Iphigenia in Tauris (Dramatic Reading)

Two strangers wash ashore in a land where foreigners face death. One is Orestes, haunted by the Furies and sent by Apollo to steal Diana's statue. The other is Pylades, loyal to the last. But the priestess awaiting their sacrifice is no stranger: she is Iphigenia, Orestes's sister, believed dead for years. What begins as a tale ofcapture and ritual becomes something rarer in Greek drama: a family reunited against all odds. Iphigenia must choose between her duty to a bloodthirsty goddess and the brother she thought she'd lost. What follows is a masterwork of recognition scenes, misdirection, and an escape plan that hinges on who will trust whom. Euripides, that great interrogator of divine cruelty, delivers one of his few plays to end not in ruin but in salvation. It is a story about the stubbornness of kinship, the cleverness of the hunted, and whether the gods truly deserve worship.
