| 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. | |||||
