Paradise

On a desolate island ravaged by war, the wounded hero Philoctetes has been abandoned for ten years by the army that once needed her. When a young soldier appears, hope of escape comes tangled with suspicion. And when an old enemy emerges with a tempting offer, Philoctetes faces an even greater test: the seduction of revenge. Kae Tempest's fierce and lyrical reimagining of Sophocles' Philoctetes transposes the ancient Greek myth into a world of climate crisis and displacement.
