Come see The Labours by Luis Alfaro at Boston Court Theatre in Pasadena!

A Modern Tragedy Seeking Redemption—and a Community Finding Reflection

In The Labours, Luis Alfaro’s bold new reimagining of Euripides’ Herakles, the mythical Herakles becomes Era (Spanish for Was), a female soldier navigating the disorienting path from military service back to civilian life. Her labours are not the heroic feats of legend, but internal battles—grappling with guilt, loss, and the irreversible harm done to her own family. The military becomes the modern underworld, and the battlefield is now within. This new Labours explores the trauma of war, the price of violence, and the long, uncertain road to redemption.
