Alfred has withdrawn from his wife and their relationship has degenerated into a mess of resentment, sexual frustration and misdirected fury. When their son goes missing, they're forced to make unexpected adjustments to their life together. Worlds will implode and walls may crack. This is a portrait of their marriage - mercurial, malicious, tender and honest. | |||||

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. | |||||

Notes: | Original Playwright - Henrik Ibsen. Written by Simon Stone with Chris Ryan | |||||
Synopsis: | Hjalmar Ekdal's father was rich until scandal cast the family into poverty. Now he lives in a tiny flat with his father, his wife Gina, and his daughter Hedvig. And a duck. And there's about to be a new member of the household who could just shatter the little world Hjalmar has built around himself. A bittersweet portrait of family dysfunction, deception and denial in a radical reworking of an Ibsen classic. | |||||
