Theatre content from Live Design: Nine hundred pages, one lighting plot with 600 cues, at least 500 sound cues, 148 costumes, and a five-page prop list. That’s what it takes to do 32 tragedies at once.
All Our Tragic, Sean Graney’s adaptation of all the Greek tragedies, is an eight-act epic, broken into four sections, separated by dinner, if you see them the same day. It runs about ten hours, 12 if you count the intermissions. The Hypocrites in Chicago opened it last year alley-style, and the team remounted it—yes, they’ve done it twice—this summer, reconfigured in proscenium/thrust style. In both arrangements, characters are supposed to be living in an abandoned factory.
