Ajax Robert Johnson , 2019 single work drama

'At the end of the Trojan War, Ajax is denied his friend Achilles’ armour. After 10 years of constant war he snaps. Ashamed of his deeds, he plans to kill himself. His wife and child do their best to change his mind.

'This rarely performed tragedy shines a light on powerful themes of themes of death, commitment and war.'
