| MET's NEXT PRODUCTION |
Refugee Voices and Euripides' The Trojan Women Is a dynamic
and pointed adaptation of Euripides' story about the aftermath of the
Trojan War. MET's production will be set in a modern war zone at a
refugee camp in front of a bombed out hospital. It begins with a
twenty minute prologue in which actors from The Trojan Women will
portray modern refugees presenting their actual stories. The play is
scheduled for a five week, twenty performance run beginning
Thursday, September 13 of this year, just before the nationwide
midterm elections in November. With the prologue and no
intermission the production will run a little over an hour. We’re
inviting some Bay Area refugees to attend and participate in a post
production discussion.

| PLANS FOR THE FUTURE |
AUGUST IN AUGUST
MET has completed six of August Wilson's ten play cycle chronicling the African American 20th century
history. In August of 2019 we'll resume the project, one play a year in August, until we've completed the
remaining four.
OTHER PROJECTS INCLUDE
You Can't Take It With You, a 21st century version of the Kaufman and Hart comedy featuring a mixed
race family with Grampa as an aging Greenwich Village hippy. Included will be a strong satirical blow at
America's top one percent.
The Winslow Boy by Terrence Rattigan. This upper class family will be bi-racial giving new meaning to
the African American son accused of stealing at his elite private school. The famous lawyer hired to
defend the boy will be a woman.
Twelfth Night by Shakespeare will be set on a Mississippi riverboat, the Illyria. Above deck Orsino, the
riverboat captain, listens to banjo music and pines away for the love of Lady Olivia who runs a show biz
cabaret on the lower deck.
