About the Play:

A kingdom under siege. As the King contemplates surrender, his daughter comes to accept that her betrothal will form part of the terms. When events take a turn for the worse, her brother is left to deal with the consequences. Love and duty are sacrificed to the politics of betrayal, and vengeance.

Inspired by the traditions of Natyashastra (Indian classical theatre treatise), the Greek Classics, and Japanese Noh, the play combines varied elements to convey a timeless story using techniques that have been around for millennia, to a modern audience.

Those familiar with the Director’s earlier works, especially Tréteau and The Tragic Queen, will have an idea of the physicality, movement, and stagecraft involved in this attempt.

Rehearsals are scheduled to start from mid-September for 2-3 sessions a week.

See you at the auditions, all the best!
