Blood Of My Father

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. 

Part Greek Tragedy, and part Police Procedural, Darcey Hogan’s imaginative reworking of Sophocles’ timeless classic provides a night of dramatic intrigue in a taut and twisty student production which breathes new life into a tale as old as time

Blood of my Father is a one-act play, performed by BOMF Productions. This fast-paced, spiralling sequence of mini-scenes follows the investigation of Officer Pallas and drives its audience to work out who murdered Agamemnon Alexi? 

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.

Content warnings: domestic abuse, child abuse, alcoholism, mental illness, flashing lights, loud noises, war conflict
