The Love Of The Nightingale By Timberlake Wertenbaker

Love, war, Violence. loyalty and betrayal. Being silent, being silenced. Premonition. Death. Revenge.

These themes are poignantly addressed in Wertenbaker's adaptation of the myth of Tereus, Procne and Philomele, compellingly re-told weaving in traditional aspects of Greek theatre with a modern flavour.

When Tereus, King of Thrace, marries into the Royal Family of Athens, the gods wake up and, as Procne warns, it is never a good thing when the gods wake up and look at you.

Warning. Contains scenes of physical and sexual violence - adults only.
