Murders At Argos is Good Fun5
I was involved in one of the first productions of this Play. We actually held the New England premiere. My company was lucky enough to have Mr. Foley attend a rehersal and answer questions, as well as attend our production. It is a modernization of the greek Orestia. Very entertaining to be involved in, as well as an extremely good learning tool. Would be great for High Schoolers, who need to know the story but dont want to read long drawn out verbose books. Contains strong language, and wouldnt be suitable to young readers. I highly reccomend reading or even performing this piece.
