About This Book
When King Pandion marries his daughter Procne off to war hero King Tereus, she must leave her beloved sister Philomela behind. After years of isolation in a foreign land, Procne begs Tereus to collect her sister for a visit. When confronted with Philomela's beauty, Tereus's desire triumphs over reason, igniting a chain of horrific events. A harrowing exploration of violence and revenge, this adaptation features a chorus of ravaged women, each a survivor of a twenteth century conflict: Bosnia-Herzegovina, Rwanda, Bangladesh, Nanking, and Berlin.

Some
excellent
needlework.
A
bit
gory
for
the
boy’s
room,
maybe,
but
I
suppose
it’s
a
little
cathartic.
P
ROCNE
When
do
the
rites
begin?
S
ERVANT
Rites?
P
ROCNE
To
Bacchus.
S
ERVANT
Oh,
those
rites.
Sundown,
of
course.
P
ROCNE
Please
inform
my
husband
that
I
will
be
joining
in
the
uproar.
S
ERVANT
You
will?
P
ROCNE
It’s
not
every
day
a
woman
can
get
possessed
by
a
god’s
drunken
frenzy
and
run
screaming
into
the
forest.
S
ERVANT
Ah…
yes,
I
mean,
no.
Yes.
The
S
ERVANT
exits.
P
ROCNE
is
alone.
P
ROCNE
I
cannot
conjure
a
drop
of
grief
from
the
pit
of
my
stomach
to
my
eyes
or
my
tongue.
I
am
numb
with
ruin.
My
skin
cannot
remember
what
it
is
to
touch,
to
be
touched.
Why
have
you
done
this?
Why
have
you
done
this
to
her?
Why
have
you
done
this
to
me?
Husband?
My
thoughts
are
consumed
with
revenge,
dipped
in
oil
and
set
alight
I
burn
with
it.
I
burn
with
it
now,
with
revenge.
Revenge.
