The Trackers of Oxyrhynchus

by Tony Harrison
with music by Stephen Edwards

In the ancient rubbish heaps of the desert, two British Egyptologists sift for lost manuscripts.  Their discoveries include petitions from the homeless, laundry lists and, at last, fragments of a lost satyr play by Sophocles.  The play unleashes the spirits of the Greek gods Apollo and Hermes - along with a boisterous chorus of clog-dancing, highly irreverent satyrs.
