| Publisher Description: A modern adaptation of AJAX set at the Pentagon with corrupt, power-mad generals who censor information and revel in blood. "Sophocles's AJAX has been adapted by Robert Auletta into a contemporary American play set in front of the Pentagon after the triumphant conclusion of a major Latin American war from which the United States has emerged victorious. This is a world where shame is worse than death. Ajax dies like a samurai on his sword and the Greek generals gather to dishonor his body. Odysseus talks them out of it. The man was a hero after all." -Dan Sullivan, Los Angeles Times |
