After Cats, a Rerun of Rex
Rome’s Colosseum, the gladiatorial arena built in the first century of our era, was the setting for
Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex last week. The building — usually left to stray cats and vagrants at night
— had not hosted a public spectacle in 1,500 years, but the Italian authorities promise that
Sophocles’ 5th century B.C. drama of inescapable fate is only the start of the arena’s renaissance.
The National Theater of Greece’s production, which ran for three nights, received mainly
complimentary reviews. Some critics, however, complained that it wasn’t easy to follow the printed
Italian translation in the dark — the actors spoke their lines in modern Greek. The set was simple,
with the chorus, masked and dressed in white, nearly indistinguishable from the statues set across
the specially built stage. Only one end of the semi-ruined monument was used for the play, although
the actors made their entrance along a wooden bridge spanning the entire floor area. The scene
was illuminated by a full moon, the heavenly body which has witnessed the deaths of gladiators
and kings — only in this case it was a balloon lit from within, and if you looked closely you could
see the wires keeping it down to earth.

Human Clones
Thanks to a report
published last week by
the British Department
of Health, the future of human
cloning may soon be the present.
In the fall Parliament will
vote on the legality of “therapeutic
cloning,” enabling scientists to
create human embryos — allowed
to live for 14 days — to produce a
powerful weapon against incurable
illnesses such as heart disease and
Alzheimer’s. As the new measures
would not affect the current ban on
reproductive cloning to create babies,
Parliament is expected to back the
legislation. After Dolly the sheep, this
will assure Britain a jump-start
in the global cloning race.
