Notes: | Original Playwright - Seneca. Adapted by by Simon Stone, Thomas Henning, Chris Ryan and Mark Winter | |||||
| If you mess with the Ancient Greeks, beware a little blood. In the charnel house of Greek legend one room is forever reserved for that most ferocious of tales - Thyestes, the deposed king whose sons were slaughtered and served as a feast to their unwitting father. Treating mythological atrocity as contemporary reality, fast-track director Simon Stone retells this Greco-Roman epic as a series of domestic scenes exploring the mundanity of violence. Terrifyingly observed, savagely comic and ultimately heartrending, Thyestes is a modern journey through the darkest of legends. | |||||
