A TIME TO DIE might be regarded as a Sophocles Variation, inspired as it is by the ANTIGONE of Sophocles, and A TIME TO LIVE as a Euripides Variation being inspired by the ANDROMACHE of Euripides. This edition brings both into the twenty first century. Some comments on twentieth century productions follow:
"Both are fascinating."
Kevin Kelly"I experienced a powerful grip of terror and pity... A TIME TO DIE carries its message for today with enormous poetry."
Lee Baxandall"They are so witty and so Young."
George Tabori"A rejuvenating experience."
Joseph Chaikin"Nothing that I know of in recent theatre touches quite the moral depth of these plays."
Tom F Driver"Steeped in human passions on many levels, A TIME TO LIVE is a challenging play, an evocative play, and finally, a noble play."
-Stanley Richards
