Molora - Based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus
In this reworking of Aeschylus' Oresteia, Klytemnestra and Elektra face one another in a dramatic confrontation. Attempts to come to terms with their violent past echo testimonies delivered in Apartheid's wake throughout South Africa during the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. RAM: The Abduction of Sita into Darkness - Based on The Ramayana by Valmiki Farber's potent revisioning of this age-old text is a raw and probing contemporary work which places the loss of the Feminine Divine, and thus our lack of spiritual and moral equilibrium, at its visceral core. This is a Ramayana for a new world. Mies Julie - Based on Miss Julie by August Strindberg Transposed to a post-apartheid kitchen - a single night, both brutal and tender, unfolds between a black farm-labourer, the daughter of his master and the woman who has raised them both. The visceral struggles of contemporary South Africa are laid bare, as John and Mies Julie spiral in a deadly battle over power, sexuality, mothers and memory.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Oberon BooksISBN-13:9781783191512ISBN-10:1783191511UPC:9781783191512Book Category:DramaBook Subcategory:African, European, Women AuthorsBook Topic:English, Irish, Scottish, WelshSize:8.20 x 5.10 x 0.60 inchesWeight:0.7011Product ID:SC4N4TY3JK
