In the twelfth year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, the virtuous widow Judith saves her people, the Israelites. On the eve of a battle with the Assyrians, she beguiles their general Holofernes into getting drunk, and cuts off his head as he sleeps. Howard Barker's re-examination of this episode from the Deuterocanonical Book of Judith is a gripping and characteristically dense examination of seduction, deception, and the power of ideology.
