Synopsis: | A man marries a woman who turns out to be his mother. And he kills a stranger who turns out to be his father. Sound familiar? This is a new and modern re-telling of the classic story. Why retell it now? In the 20th and 21st Centuries, many individuals have been destroyed by the deception of the State, or sent from their real families by policies which gave birth to tragedy. It has been a time of people in flight from, or in search of, their true identity. In the third millennium, as we approach dazzling possibilities of surrogate and scientific parenthood, the play has a further resonance. Various dramatists have told parts of the story , but this is the first time the entire extraordinary tale has been written | |||||
