COLUMBIA (AP) - A dramatic reading of an ancient Greek tragedy in which the title character commits suicide will be featured as part of contemporary conversation at the University of Missouri this week about the tolls of war.
The free presentation of Sophocles' "Ajax" is part of the Theater of War: Soldiers & Citizens Tour.
The reading by actors Brent Harris and Chinasa Ogbuagu is followed by a town hall discussion organizers say explores "the visible and invisible wounds of war."
The national tour comes to the Rhynsberger Theatre in Columbia on Thursday and begins at 7 p.m.
