The Ophiolite
A modern Greek drama
Theatro Technis and London Play Productions
A new play by Philip de Voni set in Cyprus and England.
Directed by Kerry Kyriacos Michael MBE
When her beloved father dies, young Penelope clings to the past while his widow pushes to move on. Like the Greek heroines defending sacred traditions of old, she must decide where the battle lines are drawn. As the bereaved gather, grief ignites a territorial war over the deceased, which then engulfs the soul of the family itself. Ancient grudges fume, primal bonds are torched and, like molten rock surging through fault lines in the Earth's crust, the deepest injuries are finally forced into the open. Will conflict separate the family from its history and alienate bloodlines forever? In a house divided, will love survive — and will anyone survive love?
This is a new contemporary play by Philip de Voni set in Cyprus and England. Directed by Kerry Kyriacos Michael MBE, the Creative Director of London's Theatro Technis, and Olivier and UK Theatre Award-winner.
There will be a post-show discussion with members of the cast and creative teams on February 12.
Poster Design: E. de Vries
