Target Margin Theater continues its themed 2007-2008 'On The Greeks: Aristophanika' season with the revival of three productions from last season�s unique look at the Greeks.

As Yet Thou Art Young and Rash, a timely adaptation of Euripides� Suppliants; The Argument, based on Aristotle�s Poetics; and Dinner Party, adapted from Plato�s Symposium, directed by Mark Cannistraro, at Theatre Three from 11 - 14 Jan 2008.

As Yet Thou Art Young and Rash
An adaptation of Euripides� Suppliants by Target Margin Theater
'Can we really save the world as it slips into war and confusion?' Euripides frames burning personal suffering in an urgent civic context: his supplicants struggle to respond to their deep loss as human beings and as citizens; his leaders cloak their plans in the loftiest political rhetoric; his patriotism is passionate and deeply skeptical.
Performed by Satya Bhabha, Mia Katigbak, Mary Neufeld, Tina Shepard and Stephanie Weeks

The creative team features Susan Barras (sets), Meredith Palin (costumes), Juliet Chia (lighting) and Jane Shaw (sound).

The Argument, and Dinner Party are presented as a double bill.

The Argument
written and performed by David Greenspan
Based on both Aristotle�s Poetics (c. 350 BCE) and the essays of Gerald F. Else, is a passionate student�s love-letter and farewell to his teacher.

Dinner Party
Adapted from Plato�s Symposium by Target Margin Theater
An artful and loose adaptation of Plato�s Symposium (c. 360 BCE), takes on love from every angle, delving into the original text with gusto to bring out the philosophy and lust, language and appetite, the abstract challenges to our dearly held prejudices -- not to mention the really good wine.
Preformed by Han Nah Kim, Diana Konopka, Mary Neufeld, Steven Rattazzi, Greig Sargeant, Stephanie Weeks and Ian Wen.

The creative team features Sarah Edkins (sets), �sta Bennie Hostetter (costumes), Lenore Doxsee (lighting) and Jane Shaw (sound).
