Description
After the success ofThe Riot Act, his version of Sophocles'sAntigone, Tom Paulin turned his formidable powers of transformation on Aeschylus'sPrometheus Bound.
Commissioned by the Open University, Paulin produced a reworking of the myth, deploying a fluent and sinewy diction laced with the vernacular.
As drama it is a brilliant object lesson in what is inessential.
Plot and character, even action, are secondary to a gripping, inventive and quasi-futuristic treatment of burning contemporary issues - feminism, the corruption of power and authoritarian politics.
