Publisher's Synopsis

SACRIFICE FROM THE SEA, A Play in Two Acts, by Gavin Bantock
Based on the classical Greek tragedy HIPPOLYTUS by Euripides

The action of this powerful, modern drama takes place in 20th-century Japan on an island in the Seto Inland Sea

A jilted woman, eager to get revenge, deliberately influences events so that a famous actress falls passionately in love with her own step-son, who has sworn to live a life of chastity. In a vitriolic outburst the young man denounces all women, causing his step-mother to commit suicide. Unaware that his son his innocent, his father instantly disowns and exiles him, which in turn triggers the boy's death in a grotesque motor-boat accident.
