The Trial of Robespierre
The students explore the theme of Social Injustice - asking the question "Do desperate times demand desperate measures?" In each trial, students research the roles of lawyers and witnesses for this trial of the man accused of "The Reign of Terror" during the French Revolution. Each class divides into prosecution and defense to create a theatrical trial. |
Michael Bloomberg, Mayor of New York City December 2002: "Your Antigone-In-Progress program has been a strong source of support for many students and I thank you for your tremendous efforts. It is always a pleasure to unite with people and organizations that are committed to improving the quality of life for our City's youth and to enhancing the arts community." |
