Description In Glenda Cloughley's dramatic story-song, we see what happens when people raise the mortal
laws of cities above the immortal laws of nature. From a sense of tragedy, we may discover our
own voice of empowerment as we find a place in the citizens' chorus. The way is shown by Ethos,
spirit of the community, and the songman Aeschylus whose dramas of 458BC were motivated by
the same hard questions and the same longing for harmony that hum beneath our days.
