He goes berserk and murders his whole family. Suicide is his next idea, but thanks to the intervention of his friend Theseus, Herakles comes to believe he is not indelibly stained by his own crimes, nor is his life without value. Anne Carson’s H of H Playbook is a “strange and surprisingly timely” reimagination of Euripides’ play. She reads selections from the book along with Hilton Als, followed by an interview with Sam Anderson from The New York Times Magazine.
