Changing Destiny

By Ben Okri

Book Overview

A bold new adaptation of the 4,000-year-old Egyptian poem about Warrior King Sinuhe that captures the essence of civilization and the complexities of immigration, from the Booker Prize-winning author.

Forced to flee Egypt, Sinuhe is captured as a prisoner of war by the foreign Kingdom of Retenu. Stripped of status and tormented by memories, Sinuhe will need great force of will to survive as a stranger in an unknown land. But can he transcend the mysterious powers of Egypt and the tribulations of exile?

With two actors incarnating a multitude of characters, Ben Okri's play recreates one of the world's first known stories, a timeless tale about the strength of the human spirit.
