The guided discussions underscore how the plays resonate with contemporary audiences and invite audience members to share their perspectives and experiences\, and\, helping to break down stigmas\, foster empathy\, compassion\, and a deeper understanding of complex issues. \nAbout the play \nSophocles’ Ajax tells the story of a fierce warrior who slips into a depression near the end of The Trojan War\, after losing his best friend\, Achilles. Feeling betrayed\, Ajax attempts to murder his commanding officers\, fails\, and—ultimately—takes his own life. The play tells the story of the events leading up to Ajax’ suicide\, as well as the story of his wife and troops’ attempt to intervene before it’s too late. The play also depicts the devastating impact of Ajax’ suicide upon his wife\, son\, brother\, troops\, and chain of command. \nRSVP In Person \nRegister Virtual Streaming URL:https://calendar.syracuse.edu/events/2021-dec-07/theater-of-war/ LOCATION:National Veterans Resource Center\, Tan Auditorium 101 Waverly Ave.\, Syracuse\, NY\, 13244\, United States CATEGORIES:Military-Connected ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://calendar.syracuse.edu/wp-content/uploads/theater-of-war-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Veteran and Military Affairs":MAILTO:vma@syr.edu END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
