She will need to band together with her long-lost brother Orestes, their dim-witted sister Chrysothemis, their trusted friend Pylades and a torrent of raging hormones to set her plot for revenge in motion.

Torn between family and the call of duty, their war continues at home, opening old wounds of betrayal, fear, infidelity, and loneliness for them and their wives. In this touching, poetic, brutal and romantic commentary on current events, the veterans and their fractured families are forced into a surprising and bitter realism. And, only one thing is certain - the high cost paid by all.

This fall, Magis is investigating the work and life of the American poet Edna St. Vincent Millay with a new piece called Her Name is Vincent. The work began with our interest in "Vincent" Millay's complex relationship with her sisters: close by necessity as children, but pulled apart by fame, competition and addiction. In the course of our work we discovered Vincent's early play Aria da Capo, written in the wake of the first World War and at the dawn of the avant-garde. We found striking parallels in her meditation upon conflict and greed and the issues that plagued her relationships during her adult life. Paired together, The Millay Sisters and Aria da Capo make a compelling evening of theatre. Her Name is Vincent will be performed this October in the heart of New York City's Theatre District just seven blocks from where Aria da Capo opened on Broadway in 1925.
