Ion

Work:: Ion (S764647119)

A tale of faith, love and childlessness from ancient Greece. Apollo has raped a young woman and she has given birth to a son, Ion. Many years later, mother and son meet, neither knowing who the other is. If the story is told, will Apollo's authority ever be the same again? If it is not told, will she ever have a son? Euripides' provocative drama asks us to question the value of sincerity and courage in a world where there is no-one to trust.
