The freshest new writing from Europe; this double-bill examines the tensions between children and their parents. Iphigenia - 'strong-born' - is brought to her father to be sacrificed to pacify the gods. In this beautifully frank and lyrical reworking of Euripides' tale, we see even the most powerful of families will unravel under the pressure of Fate. This Child is played out through a series of vignettes- glimpsing into the dense thicket of family life. We get the chance to peer through the tangled branches and roots of a family tree, following fathers, daughters, sons and mothers as they push for understanding between each other.
