Meanwhile on the shore of the River Styx, Iphigenia is confronted by the truth about her death while Agamemnon still tries to control his family from beyond the grave.
Based on the myths surrounding the House of Atreus, The Thinning Veil is a visually stunning drama about the damage family can inflict upon themselves and others.
