'Gospel at Colonus' mixes Greek drama, Scriptures

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "Ancient Greek drama is more honored than performed. The tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides are famously difficult to stage, despite the power of their stories and impact of their poetry.
Sometimes, a fresh approach can be helpful with a genre more than 2,500 years old, as the Greek tragedies are.
'Doing it as gospel does strike a chord in an American genre that overlaps in many ways with Greek theater,' says Opera Theater Pittsburgh's artistic director Jonathan Eaton.
