Ahead of our production of Samson Agonistes, we at the Alabama Shakespeare Project would like to provide a content warning. Samson Agonistes includes mentions of violence, maiming, self-harm, suicide, and regions in the Middle East currently at war, including Gaza. We encourage our audience members to take care of themselves as they see fit.
