Re: TARGET: SEC: Need modern fiction/drama with link to antiquity

[Scott Sheidlower <tallscott5@MAC.COM>]

The simplest one I can think of is the following:

West Side Story -- Romeo & Juliet (is this too late?)

In fact, there is a combined edition of the 2 of them in print.

Additionally,

There is Antigone by Sophocles  & Antigone by Jean Anoulih.

Beowulf & Grendel by John Champlin Gardner.
