In ancient Greece, the blind oracle Tiresias foresees a dark fate for the city of Thebes. As his ominous visions unfold, three women - Antigone, Ismene, and Eurydice - are caught in the crossfire. Antigone defies the tyrannical king to honor her brother's burial, while Ismene and Eurydice navigate the perilous politics of the palace. With the city on the brink of collapse, each woman must choose between loyalty, justice, and survival. Natalie Haynes' "Stone Blind" is a gripping retelling of the Theban myths, exploring the timeless power of prophecy and the courage of those who dare to challenge fate.
