Dear Friends,

Come see military civilizations collide!, in a special production of

Brandon Brown's The Persians by Aeschylus

Brandon's text is a literal translation of The Persians by Aeschylus, which has been adapted for a site-specific performance in San Francisco's Presidio, at the bunkers near the Golden Gate Bridge.

Curriculum Resources Related to the Performance

For an artist statement by Brandon Brown on his translation, as well as for additional resources regarding this event, please see the Curriculum Resources section of the Nonsite Collective blog at: http://www.nonsitecollective.org/blog/curriculum-resources/.

The cast for this special performance will include: John Sakkis, Cynthia Sailers, Suzanne Stein, Dan Fisher, Taylor Brady, Tanya Hollis, Lauren Shufran, and Brent Cunningham.

We suggest you bring along a blanket and a cold beer for a hopefully not-so-cold afternoon.

The performance will begin at 2pm. Rides to BART will be available afterwards, so that we all can catch the New Yipes event at 21 Grand in Oakland at 7pm, featuring novelist Steven Beachy and poet Lara Durback, with films by Martha XIV.
