Description

The Trackers of OxyrhyncusThe Trackers of Oxyrhynchus had a unique one performance world premiere in the ancient stadium of Delphi in 1988. Among the papyruses excavated in Egypt at the turn of the century by Bernard Grenfell and Arthur Hunt was a fragmentary text of a Satyr play by Sophocles. Tony Harrison remakes the ancient Greek original into a play for our times, in which the two papyrologists are incorporated into the work they have discovered.
