From the studio who brought you the number one podcast, The Pytan Massacre, this is Death Island.

Just a few miles off the Thailand coast. The island of Kotao looks like a postcard.

It's almost like if you were going to imagine a paradise island or draw a picture of one, that's what Kotao looks like.

Young tourists from all over the world visit the pristine beaches and crystal clear water.

But underneath the surface lies something sinister.

A dark cloud who's come over the island and cast its shadow.

Death, mystery and danger.

In the last 20 years dozens of tourists have died mysteriously on the island.

One thing is certain, in this beautiful place, no coast is clear.

Listen to Death Island every Wednesday on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

I cannot wait for you to hear it. I cannot express how much it helps in the understanding and appreciating of this play.

But I did write this episode before speaking with my upcoming guest, George Kovacs, and he really opened my eyes to a lot of things that make this play interesting and worth reading.

So apologies if those things aren't entirely clear in this episode, but we are going to talk about them on Friday and you will be convinced.

And until then, where we left off on this absolute hot mess of a play, Euripides had convinced his father and lawman, Silicus, to infiltrate the Women's Only Festival, the Thesmaphoria.

He'd shaved his beard and put on a dress and whatever other clothes they got their hands on and apparently convinced all of these women that he was indeed a woman.
