Splott, 2015. Effie is a young woman living in poverty. She scrapes through life living on handouts and drinks herself to oblivion from boredom. A chance meeting with a stranger offers her hope of a new life, but tragedy unfolds and she is forced to make her own terrible sacrifice.

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.
