Paradise by Kae Tempest
2025-12-15 19:30, 2025-12-14 19:30, 2025-12-13 19:30, 2025-12-12 19:30, 2025-12-11 19:30, 2025-12-10 19:30, 2025-12-09 19:30, 2025-12-08 19:30 and 1 more date | St Werburgh’s Parish Hall, St Werburgh's Church, 386 Wilbraham Rd, Chorlton, M21 0UH, United Kingdom
A brilliant new show from Chorlton Players.
Philoctetes lives in a cave on a desolate island: the wartime hero is now a wounded outcast. Stranded for ten years, he sees a chance of escape when a young soldier appears with tales of Philoctetes’ past glories. But with hope comes suspicion – and, as an old enemy emerges, he is faced with an even greater temptation: revenge.
Kae Tempest is now widely acknowledged as a revolutionary force in contemporary British poetry, music and drama; they continue to expand the range of their work with a new version of Sophocles’ Philoctetes in a bold new translation. Like Brand New Ancients before it, Paradise shows Tempest’s gift for lending the old tales an immediate contemporary relevance – and will find this timeless story a wide new audience.
