Student engineers dramatic trivia victory

Emilie Bondy, a student of electrical and computer engineering, won Monday’s DailyNews trivia quiz and its prize of two tickets to the current University Players production, Big Love.

The play is a modern retelling of The Suppliant Women by Aeschylus.

Bondy’s entry was drawn from all those which correctly identified the following trivia about the ancient Greek playwright: he is known as the father of tragedy, he fought at Marathon, and Pliny claims he was killed when a bird dropped a tortoise on his head.

The University Players’ show runs through Sunday in Essex Hall Theatre. Performances Wednesday through Saturday are at 8 p.m.; matinees Saturday and Sunday are at 2 p.m. Order tickets online at www.UniversityPlayers.com or by phoning 519-253-3000, ext. 2808.
