Poulton, Mike: - Mike Poulton has had a number of highly successful versions of classic works of drama and literaure produced, including Turgenev's Fortune's Fool (which won a Tony in New York), Schiller's Don Carlos, Ibsen's Romersholm and a stage version of Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales.
Praise for this book
"The play is sublime - Riveting" --Observer
"This is a composed, restrained, often beautiful and mainly lucid account of the play - Poulton's version is lush, lyrical, witty and inventive" --Daily Telegraph "Written 2,500 years ago, Euripides' play can still shake you like an earthquake. Like Shakespeare, he is not our contemporary, but speaks to us as if he were" --Sunday Times "Mike Poulton is responsible for this lean, muscular new translation - Conceived as a ritualistic horror story featuring a few pagan rhythmic dance passages, this strong production also serves as a sober but sometimes grimly comic warning" --The Times
