“But how could you live and have no story to tell?”

The Angry Wounds

Play inspired by Sophocles “The Philoctetes”. Directed by Alex Clifton at the Oxford Classics Faculty, with support of the Oxford Onassis Foundation.
The story of the wounded bowman, Philoctetes seemed a timely homage to make, in the context of our seemingly intractable wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Never mind that I had originally supported the toppling of Saddam Hussein. Odysseus, as the villain of the piece, brilliantly played by Adrian Lukis, is type of Tony Blair, albeit spread over with extra buttery layer of cynicism.
The play never received a full production, through Sophoclean scholar, Eric Dugdale was kind enough to include mention of it on an article here, on plays as Public Testimony:
Just Telling Stories? Public Testimony in <i>Molora</i> and <i>The Angry Wounds</i> by Eric Dugdale :: SSRN
