The Children of Jocasta  is a vivid and bold re-imagining  of an ancient story. Natalie Haynes’ captivating retelling of the Oedipus and Antigone stories – with previously neglected female characters taking centre stage, plunges us into the hearts of Sophoclean tragedy, and offers a stunning re-imagination of the doomed lives of Jocosta and Ismene.
