Philoctetes Redux

Posted by matt on 15 January 2010

This video is LONG–about 54 minutes–but poignant.   They’re reading an adaptation of Philoctetes,  the play that earned Sophocles first prize at the Festival of Dionysius in 409 BCE.

I first heard about  The Philoctetes Project and its work with veterans suffering from PTSD on the radio news while driving to work this morning.
