Clytemnestra
"When we've killed all the animals
Men will be next."
Oil has run out and the world fights for food. To save his people, Agamemnon sacrifices his daughter to his barbaric new allies. With the fury of a mother betrayed, Clytemnestra waits for his return.
Adultery, power and revenge drive this new telling of an epic Greek legend.
A major new production from Sherman Cymru, Clytemnestra combines the dramatic story-telling of the former National Poet of Wales, Gwyneth Lewis, with the bold direction of Amy Hodge (Measure for Measure).
Gwyneth Lewis in conversation with Penny James
