Oberon Modern Plays - Alcmaeon in Corinth

Based on 20 previously untranslated fragments, this is a reconstruction of Euripides lost tragic comedy, Alcmaeon in Corinth, the third part of his final trilogy, with Bacchai and Iphigeneia in Aulis. Alcmaeon, having killed his mother, is pursued by the furies, his madness taking the form of satyriasis. When he unwittingly finds himself in bed with his daughter, he must face his children's fury. Alcmaeon in Corinth was commissioned by The Academy at Live Theatre, Newcastle, and was performed there in September 2004.
