In addition to our production of Hecuba/Helen, SRT’s Nevertheless They Persisted includes a free Monday night film series introduced by Stanford faculty. We screen three films by the Oscar-winning Greek film director Michael Cacoyannis dealing with Euripidean tragic heroines: Electra (July 9), Trojan Women (July 16), and Iphigenia (July 23). We follow with three films by the great German director Margarethe von Trotta exploring three inspiring - and problematic - exemplars of female resistance: The Lost Honour of Katherine Blum (July 30), Marianne and Juliane (August 6), and Hannah Arendt (August 13).
