Description
"You! You've led a democracy to murder a man for speaking freely! Is what you've done! Are you aware of that? Gods!" -Phaedo
Lovers of Philosophy know Plato most likely wrote Dialogues so people could engage with these arguments in an entertaining way. That was over 2 millennia ago. Time to dust them off for today's kids.
"THINK of the CHILDREN!" -Meletus.
Kill Socrates is a roller coaster ride through one of history's most famous minds, ending in one of history's most infamous deaths. At turns hilarious and heartbreaking, Socrates Must Die.
"It's an absolutely beautiful piece. Absolute gorgeous." Don Bluth, producer of the Kill Socrates premiere at the "DBFR" Theatre in Phoenix; animated film director of Secret of NIMH, American Tale, Land Before Time.
"...a drama that is very humorous while also moving and ultimately heartbreaking... Kill Socrates is a funny, charming, moving, interesting and intriguing new play." - Talkin' Broadway
