Opis

When Then Is Now brings together Brendan Kennelly's modern versions of three Greek tragedies - Euripides' The Trojan Women. Euripides' Medea, and Sophocles' Antigone. All three plays dramatize timeless human dilemmas as relevant now as they were in ancient times. All focus on women whose lives are torn apart by war, family conflict and despotic regimes. In his preface. Brendan Kennelly describes how writing these three plays helped him enormously at difficult times in his own life.
