announces auditions for

Ajax

by  Sophocles

Directed by Stephen Gray

The earliest surviving work by Greek tragedian Sophocles, Ajax tells the story of the final day in the life of Ajax, king of Salamis. 

In the aftermath of the Trojan War, Ajax, hailed as a hero but afflicted by jealousy, has his eyes set on revenge in this chilling tale of a hero torn apart by the spoils of war.
