Performing January 13, 2006 – February 11, 2006
on the Arena Stage at Theater! Theatre!
A story of the power of words and the price of silence told with wit, economy, and provocative theatricality. A rich retelling of the ancient Greek myth of Philomele told with devastating vitality. The Daily Telegraph says it is “…that rare thing, a compelling piece of theatre which may indeed rivet you to your seat…a raw piece of myth making for a violated age.”
