A Performance of Neil LaBute's 'Iphigenia In Orem'

Andreas Araouzou directs and performs Neil LaBute's monologue, 'Iphigenia In Orem,' a work that explores the relationships between genders, political correctness, and masculinity. According to the author, the play highlights the "comic-tragic reminder of the smallness of man, his dark egoism, and the way modern tragedy nests in insignificance." The critic emphasizes the timelessness and relevance of the themes LaBute addresses, highlighting his ability to capture the human condition with sharpness and honesty. The performance appears to offer a deep and thought-provoking experience, touching on themes that remain current and important in modern society.
