A muscular version of Sophocles' timeless masterpiece, offering a profound reflection on the nature of power, democracy and human rights.

I read this play as part of my literature classes in high-school, and I've got one thing to say about it - Five minutes.
If she waited five minutes; she'd be alive, he'll be alive and all would've been well with the world.
Five minutes.
