In this pitch-black comedy, fatal chemicals combine with ruthless ambition, biscuits, bureaucracy and moral ambiguity. Set in the near future, Britain has reinstated the death penalty. Relatives are weeping in the witness gallery, the journalist clicks her pen and the prison governor gives the thumbs up. Rapist murderer Richard Sanger is strapped to the gurney. Chamber Piece depicts a modern, British execution. How would it look? How would we feel? And what could possibly go wrong?
-An assured, funny and twisty script by the young poet and playwright Caroline Bird... It leaves you...

Euripides' story of a father moved to murder his daughter is one that has been reinvented and retold anew throughout history. The Iphigenia Quartet includes four responses to this classical tragedy--each play a reimagining of this story of familial catastrophe from the differing perspectives of the key characters in the drama: Agamemnon, Clytemnestra, Iphigenia, and the Chorus.
