March 2009 By Barbara Bregstein ETNY Theater Company presents SOCRATES ON TRIAL, its original and faithful adaptation of five Plato dialogues, Gorgias, Euthyphro, Apology, Crito and Phaedo, set in ancient Greece in 399 B.C. the day of Socrates' trial. The audience becomes the Athenian Assembly and votes on Socrates' guilt or innocence. Within the dramatic context of the story of Socrates' trial and imprisonment, many issues emerge: the historical moment in Greece; the question of whether it is worse to do wrong or suffer wrong; the theory of natural right; the social contract between the individual and the state; the value of searching for truth through questioning; the importance of excellence; the power of prejudice; and the journey of the soul after death. With Peter Cory as Socrates.
