Athenaeum Theatre

Reimagined in a style that merges Greek tragedy with folktale, Ioneu follows the journey of Ione, a reluctant messenger burdened with a destiny he refuses to accept. When he attempts to flee, a violent storm and a monstrous sea creature force him into a harrowing confrontation with his own fears and resentment. As Ione struggles with his past and the weight of his choices, the play challenges audiences to consider the nature of mercy, the power of transformation, and the cost of compassion.
