Set in the present day but inspired by ancient myth, Moira Buffini's Welcome To Thebes offers a passionate exploration of an encounter between the world's richest and poorest countries, set in the aftermath of a brutal war.
Faced with an impoverished population, a shattered infrastructure and a volatile army, the first democratic president of Thebes, Eurydice, promises peace to her nation. Without the aid of Theseus, the leader of the vastly wealthy state of Athens, she doesn't stand a chance. But Theseus is arrogant, mercurial and motivated by profit.
