‘It can’t be right to do a fine man hurt, not once he’s dead, regardless of your hate.’
When the great warrior Achilles dies, his armour is meant to pass to the soldier who deserves it most. Aias is sure it will be his. Instead, it is given to Odysseus and Aias is left to confront the humiliation, rage and doubt that follows when a man who has built his whole identity around being strong suddenly feels he is no longer enough.
Set against the backdrop of future conflict, MCS Drama presents a visceral story about masculinity, honour and the terrible cost of living up to an ideal.
