THE SUN was setting as I made my way past tombs and ruins toward the ancient amphitheater for the night’s performance.
By this point, my third day in Sicily, I was prepared to be taken back in time.
The show, Euripides’ “Iphigenia in Tauris” was written in the 5th century B.C., roughly when the theater might have been completed.
The scalding summertime heat of the Italian island had at last receded and the smell of jasmine and bougainvillea filled the air as I took my seat.
