JUDITH: A Parting From the Body is a lyrical three-hander that radically re-imagines the mythical legend of an Israeli widow who offers herself to an army general in an attempt to save Israel from invasion. The story of Judith has been a significant symbol in the struggle between the sexes, and is a striking example of female heroism and sexuality. Barker’s retelling of this familiar narrative explores the notions of truth and deception in a tale which has fascinated artists, sculptors and poets for centuries.
