Conversations With Socrates

Synopsis:
This jailed Socrates) is not Plato's assured, gentle victim. He dies not comforted by friends but aware that he has been betrayed by the closest of them and that his teachings will be falsified for posterity. Anytus, the prosecutor of Socrates, and Thrasybulus, the restorer of democracy to Athens, are so sinister that they would seem more at home in the courts of Catherine de' Medici or Peter the Great than in the porticoes of the Acropolis.
D. J. R. BRUCKNER, New York Times

Theatre In The Time Of Nero And Seneca

Synopsis:
examines relationships between the individual and the state through the lives of the Athenian philosopher, a Russian intellectual murdered in prison for his part in the Decembrist uprising of 1825 (''Lunin: Theater of Death'') and the philosopher-playwright Seneca, who committed suicide on orders of the emperor-playwright Nero (''Theater in the Time of Nero and Seneca'').
D. J. R. BRUCKNER, New York Times
Seneca, the greatest moralist of the Ancient World and one of the originators of Christian aphorisms, was the tutor, and not only the tutor, but also the minister, and not only the minister, but also, for all practical purposes, the leader of the government under Nero, the greatest evildoer, a symbol of evil for all times and peoples. This whole play is an examination of that stunning paradox which to a degree, reflects the history of the twentieth century: that is, Good together with Evil, and where it turns out that, to a certain degree, they are inseparable . What is important is that Seneca, the greatest moralist, peacefully exists side by side with Nero, the greatest murderer. And that each time he believes with his concessions he is placating Nero. He doesn't understand that all of these concessions are, in effect, steps leading to his own death.
Edward Radzinsky
