Playwright Charles Mee (re)made seven ancient Greek dramas into compelling contemporary scripts. This book discusses those plays and Mee's (re)made dramas. Its intent is to guide those who see his plays to understand why they are titled from the Greek versions, how Mee has made the ancient issues relevant to current times, and it posits a new definition of tragedy appropriate for the modern world.
