Synopsis: 'Troy has fallen - and the Cretan General Idomeneus is on his way home. But the Gods are angry (aren't they always?) and so now Idomeneus must make a great sacrifice - but these sacrifices never pan out in the way we'd like them to. Now our General is really in trouble.'

Idomeneus is directed by Ellen McDougall, and features scenic design by Ana Ines Jabares Pita, lighting by Lizzie Powell, and music and sound design by Jon Nicholls.
