Paradise

The all-female company, with Lesley Sharp as Philoctetes: once a celebrated wartime hero, now a wounded outcast on a desolate island. When a young soldier appears, his hope of escape comes with suspicion. And as an old enemy also emerges, he is faced with an even greater temptation, revenge. Kae Tempest, the astonishing writer, recording artist and performer forges an epic new take on Greek legend. Filmed live at the National Theatre's Olivier Theatre in 2021.
