Description
Philoctetes, a wartime hero turned outcast, lives in isolation on a desolate island. His chance at escape arrives with a young soldier who shares tales of his past glories, but hope is soon tempered by suspicion.
As an old enemy emerges, Philoctetes faces a new temptation: revenge. Kae Tempest's bold new translation brings Sophocles' ancient tale into the present day, lending it a contemporary relevance that will resonate with readers.
This powerful and thought-provoking version of Philoctetes is a testament to Tempest's skill as a translator and storyteller, offering a fresh perspective on a timeless story.
