The Foreign Office & Wild Yak

This is the dramatic second part of the Danaïds trilogy.

In a city destroyed by war, the victorious Egyptians demand to marry the fifty daughters of Danaos. But, strange omens, a grieving widow and a mysterious priestess — these are bleak portents for a mass wedding. As the men and women square up to their wedding night, who will finally prevail?

Presented as a scratch performance, The Sons of Aegyptos  is the bold second chapter in the Danaids trilogy, reimagined from Aeschylus’ lost plays by the acclaimed creators of The Suppliant Women. With a magnetic chorus of young men from London South Bank University, this raw and urgent staging explores themes of power, consent, and identity with stirring immediacy.
