Iphigenia in Splott

Back to Education Resources
Designed for teachers of A-level English literature and Drama GCSE students, this education package is written from a theatre makers perspective and gives you critical insight into the socio-political and historical context of Iphigenia in Splott and Rachel O'Riordan's directorial concept.

Stumbling down the street drunk at 11.30am Effie is the kind of girl you avoid making eye contact with. You think you know her, but maybe you don’t know half of it.

Effie’s life is a mess of drink, drugs and drama every night, and a hangover worse than death the next day – ’til one night gives her the chance to be something more.
