Iphigenia in Splott

Image

We’re in Splott, a run-down industrial area in the Welsh capital. A young woman stumbles down the street, still drunk in the early dawn. This is Effie. Her life is an aimless, messy cycle of partying and vicious hangovers–until one fateful night gives her the chance to be so much more. Inspired by a Greek myth, this pulse-pounding modern story will make you fall in love with a tough and vulnerable young woman who must make impossible sacrifices for her battered community. Performed by a single actor but epic in scale, this modern Iphigenia (meaning “born to strength”) is brought to life by the electrifying Philadelphia actor Campbell O’Hare.
