The neighbour heard the screams from next door. The body was found floating in Chiswick River. At 16 and 20 years old, Orestes and Electra never thought they would be interrogated as suspects in their father's murder. Blood of my Father is a dark, twisted, spiralling sequence of police interrogations. Who is lying under oath? Will the pressure push them to breaking point? This is Electra, reimagined for 2024.

This modern day thriller, and hot on the heels of its Edinburgh Fringe 2024 World Premier, looks into the lives of middle class dysfunction, the cover ups and fear of scandal, as well as the long term effects of abuse.
