In this world premiere, acclaimed poet and playwright
Glyn Maxwell brings us a new adaptation of one of the
oldest plays in existence. Ten years following the start of
the Trojan War, and the bloody sacrifice of his daughter,
King Agamemnon returns home to Greece with his war
prize, the clairvoyant Cassandra, only to meet a welcome
of retribution from his determined wife, Clytemnestra.
"Maxwell has a sharp sense of drama and a keen ear for its language...” - The New York Times
“Maxwell's voluptuous language beguiles.” - Backstage
“Glyn Maxwell is a superlative writer...his writing gleams with the wit of John Donne and is delivered in the rhythm of Shakespeare.”
- The Scotsman
