À propos de cet audio

This compassionate, personal, and illuminating work of nonfiction draws on the author's celebrated work as a director of socially conscious theater to connect listeners with the power of an ancient artistic tradition. For years Bryan Doerries has been producing ancient tragedies for current and returned servicemen and women, addicts, tornado and hurricane victims, and a wide range of other at-risk people in society. Here, drawing on these extraordinary firsthand experiences, Doerries clearly and powerfully illustrates the redemptive and therapeutic potential of this classical, timeless art: how, for example, Ajax can help soldiers and their loved ones grapple with PTSD or how Prometheus Bound provides insights into the modern penal system.

Doerries is an original and magnanimous thinker, and The Theater of War - wholly unsentimental but intensely felt and emotionally engaging - is a humane, knowledgeable, and accessible book that will inspire and inform listeners, showing them that suffering and healing are both parts of a timeless process.

It is both powerful and moving hearing stories, personal and heartfelt, interwoven with the words of ancient Greek plays. Adam Driver was an able narrator and it was a bonus that he had acted in some of these performances. It seemed to enrich the narration that he had lived part of this book.

Hearing of Bryan Doerriess' life journey made deeper sense of his now-realized desire to perform Greek tragedies, and have them help people now as they helped the Greeks in times past. It is wonderful that these plays have helped veterans, incarcerated prisoners, those having faced dire adversity, and those coming to the end of their lifespan. From listening to the stories people shared, I hope that my ability to feel compassion for others has deepened. And like the Grinch I hope that my heart may have grown a size or two.

Thank you.
