The Gallatin School of Individualized Study will host “Amphitryon,” a comedic tale of disguised Roman gods meddling in the affairs of mortals, Feb. 5-15, at its Jerry H. Labowitz Theatre for the Performing Arts (1 Washington Place [at Broadway]).

Amphitryon, by the French playwright Molière (1622-1673), stretches from

slapstick comedy to poetry in offering a neoclassical adaptation of a Greek myth that poses questions about identity, power, injustice, and those who are “above the law.”

Directed by Matthew Gregory, an associate faculty member at the Gallatin School, the play features a cast of Gallatin students.

The performance is free and open to the public, but tickets must be reserved in advance. For more information, please call 212.992.7762. Subways: N, R (8th Street); 6 (Astor Place)
