The Seven

by Will Power

Freely adapted from "The Seven Against Thebes" by Aeschylus

“The sins of the father are visited upon their sons.” The legendary Greek Oedipal curse, so powerfully dramatized by the great Greek tragedian Aeschylus over 2500 years ago, still haunts the mean streets of Philadelphia today.

Hip Hop theater specialist Will Power transforms Aeschylus’ provocative tragedy of brother warring against brother, living under the curse of kin, into a highly theatrical and entertaining fable. The Seven is an audacious, dazzling, street-wise, seamless musical blend of pop harmonies, rap, rhythm, slam poetry, Greek legend and dazzling hip hop movement.

The play was hailed as both an audience favorite and a critical success, and called everything from "brilliant" (The Village Voice), to "exhilarating" (USA Today), to "a spectacular offering to the theater Gods" (Time Out New York).
