Description

Based on the lost Sophoclean play Tereus, The Three Birds explores the extremes of love as two Athenian sisters are separated by a man who marries one but desires the other. The epic images of Sophocles act as a metaphorfor the exceptional passions which hide inside us all. Premiered at the Gate Theatre, London as part of a series about love entitled Love Works.
