This 12-hour theatrical event–nine hours of performed material and three hours for snack and meal time, which is included in the price of admission–combines all 32 surviving Greek tragedies into a single epic narrative, creating a modern Festival of Dionysus. These ancient Greek festivals were designed to encourage civic conversation about contemporary topics by incorporating art, politics, and food.
