Synopsis

Cast: 6 men, 4 women, Chorus.

Area Staging.

In the unified brilliance of Wertenbaker's new translation, Sophocles reaches across 24 centuries and is revealed as an entirely accessible and astonishingly modern playwright!

The plays are about free will, about natural law versus that of he state, about whether loyalty to family takes precedence over country, about the dangers of tyranny.

The plays may be presented either as a marathon, or as a separate productions.

This volume covers Play I.
