Cruel and Tender
Young Vic Theatre Company

Martin Crimp’s new play takes Sophocles' ancient story of marriage and violence - Trachiniae - and propels it into a modern world of political hypocrisy and emotional terrorism.

Far away a battle rages and an entire city is turned to dust. Amelia can't sleep. She waits for news of her husband. He's a great general and this seems to be a decisive victory. But as the motives for the war start to look disturbingly personal, his wife becomes desperate to hold on to his love.

Cruel and Tender features Kerry Fox whose film credits include An Angel at My Table, Shallow Grave and Intimacy, and her stage work includes Charlotte Jones' In Flame.

Internationally acclaimed director Luc Bondy make his British debut with this stunning play. He works primarily in France and Germany.
