Oedipus. Othello. Weiner?

The strange summer of Anthony D. Weiner is about to have its curtain call: “The Weiner Monologues,” a play that imagines the erstwhile congressman and mayoral candidate as a tragic hero of the stage, will make its Off Off Broadway debut next month.

It is of some debate whether Mr. Weiner’s swing-and-a-miss comeback attempt would qualify as tragic or comic. (Perhaps a bit of both.) And sultry text messages may be on a different moral plane from more tangible crimes like patricide.

But there is no question that the Weiner saga makes for good, old-fashioned drama, and a troupe of recent Hunter College graduates has not let the theatrical possibilities go to waste.

“It’s not a typical Aristotelian tragedy,” said Jonathan Harper Schlieman, the director of the show, which carries a cumbersome, 25-word subtitle that identifies it as “a devised Greek tragedy composed of found texts.”
