The Oresteia

The House of Atreus is burdened by an old curse and trapped in a cycle of retributive violence.

How can justice be achieved without piling new crimes on top of old ones? Ellen McLaughlin’s gripping adaptation of the trilogy by Aeschylus explores the intimacy of violence and the centrality of actions by women in this ancient Greek story about the foundations of the law.
