簡介
Steven Berkoff borrowed the idea for his play, Greek, from Sophocles' Oedipus Rex. Thebes, where Oedipus was king, was blighted with corruption, so the gods inflicted a plague upon the city.
Berkoff saw London in the 1980s as plague-ridden, and in Greek the plague is mankind. The play is a satire on Britain during Margaret Tatcher's term in office. Many people feel that things are much the same in Britain today.
Great tenderness, love and humour, interwoven with extremes of passion and language, serve to make up the fabric of a rare and magnificent piece of theatre.
