Description
A torn family. A hostile state. One heroic brother. One misguided son. One conflicted sister, and the second is on the run. This is a blistering retelling of Sophocles' epic story from the writer of Barber Shop Chronicles, Inua Ellams. This edition was published to coincide with the production at Regent Park's Open Air Theatre in September 2022.
