The Salt Plays Pt. 1: In the Wound /  by Jon Tracy

Shotgun Players

Direction by Jon Tracy

"damned good theater"

- Robert Hurwitt, The San Francisco Chronicle

"Tracy's imagination is so rich -- and so clearly articulated -- that he manages to make Homer's epic understandable to a modern audience that, like the ancient Greeks, has grown tired of constantly being at war. Tracy's wry, sarcastic writing also contains some golden comic moments."

- George Heymont, The Huffington Post

"It’s a dazzlingly dynamic, highly stylized staging of a lyrical, tragic, funny, challenging, fragmented, and fresh take on the well-worn ground of the battlefields of Ilium."

- Sam Hurwitt, The Idiolect
