Publisher Description

Take a seat in the court of ancient Athens as Socrates goes on trial for his life. Hear the philosopher face his accusers with his trademark wit, his cutting logic, and the courage of his ideals. Consider his arguments on virtue, justice, politics, civic duty, love of life, and hope in death, and make your own judgment.

Think. Question. Change.

“Socrates unbound! One uniquely obsessed and multitalented actor has set himself the decidedly idiosyncratic mission of proving the transcendent dramatic power of the ancient philosopher.”

— American Theatre 

Quotes

  • “A superhuman effort on the part of the actor in a splendid coordination of text, movement, and speech.”

    — d’Wort (Luxembourg)
