As the Greek armies prepare for their expedition against the city of Troy, the soldiers refuse to embark until King Agamemnon makes a sacrifice, and the sacrifice they demand is his daughter, Iphigenia. The play is a modern adaptation of the ancient Greek tragedy Iphigenia at Aulis by Euripides; the playwright, Charles Mee, uses historical and contemporary events, dance, and pop culture to create a unique theatrical experience.
