This is the personal and deeply passionate story of a life devoted to reclaiming the timeless power of an ancient artistic tradition to comfort the afflicted. For years, theater director Bryan Doerries has led an innovative public health project that produces ancient tragedies for current and returned soldiers, addicts, tornado and hurricane survivors, and a wide range of other at-risk people in society.
Drawing on these extraordinary firsthand experiences, Doerries clearly and powerfully illustrates the redemptive and therapeutic potential of this classical, timeless art: how, for example, Ajax can help soldiers and their loved ones better understand and grapple with PTSD, or how Prometheus Bound provides new insights into the modern penal system. These plays are revivified not just in how Doerries applies them to communal problems of today, but in the way he translates them himself from the ancient Greek, deftly and expertly rendering enduring truths in contemporary and striking English.
The originality and generosity of Doerries’s work is startling, and The Theater of War—wholly unsentimental, but intensely felt and emotionally engaging—is a humane, knowledgeable, and accessible book that will both inspire and enlighten. Tracing a path that links the personal to the artistic to the social and back again, Doerries shows us how suffering and healing are part of a timeless process in which dialogue and empathy are inextricably linked.

Theater，是剧场也是战区。"PTSD is from B.C."的部分最为核心，也最打动人。之后监狱看管和临终关怀虽然针对不同剧目也算是在此基础之上的延伸。影子跟读 Adam Driver 大概是近期最练肺活量的事情了，听过最激动的有声书演播者。

评分因为命运并不回避意识和意志，而是把它们吞没在它的结构中
评分作者以个人经历和作为导演的经历讲述古希腊悲剧在现代的作用，悲剧并不是如一般所理解的那样只为了展现人世间不可避免的苦难，而是通过这种形式让观众知道你并不孤单，让观众通过共鸣可以超越苦难。前半部分很棒，后面有些地方不是很喜欢所以少了一星。但还是很推荐大家都读一读。
