This first English publication of Maria Lampadaridou Pothou's work is a collection of her critically acclaimed writing. It includes a revisionist version of a Sophoclean tragedy, Antigone or The Nostalgia of Tragedy, which was written to protest Greek dictatorship. Praised by Samuel Beckett, Pothou wrote the other two featured plays, The Glass Box and Bidding You Farewell, in the tradition of the Theater of the Absurd. Also included are poems from The Mystic Passage.
