Description

Helen of Troy returns, ashamed and disgraced by the devastation she has wrought. But her sister’s arrival is not Clytemnestra’s only problem. Despised by her daughter Electra, she drifts away from her son Orestes whilst there are crimes for which her husband, Agamemnon, cannot be forgiven. As a family reunion threatens to revive old enmities, her dead daughter Iphigenia stalks her thoughts and memories. Killed before the war, she awaits her moment to strike back…

From award-winning playwright, James Beagon (‘First Class’, Best New Writing 2014, Buxton Fringe) comes a chilling new adaptation of an ancient Greek classic: a family tragedy of honour and revenge.
