The La MaMa Puppet Series may have just concluded, but there are still more puppets inhabiting the La MaMa First Floor Theatre. This week, Czechoslovak-American Marionette Theatre's The Republic, or My Dinner with Socrates begins performances. With a cast of 6 actors, 50 marionettes and dozens of shadow puppets, The Rupublic asks: Is democracy not the ideal form of government? Was Socrates executed by a vigilant Athenian "department of homeland security? The play may or may not answer these questions, but will at least hope to open a dialogue in a true Socratic method.
