The Oresteia, a dramatic reinterpretation of Sophocles' ancient tragedy featuring Simon Stone's contemporary family, returns to the Bridge Theatre for its London run on August 31st at 19:00. Set against the backdrop of Greek myth and the hellish cycle of vengeance, this bold new take brings together familiar themes with a contemporary context, offering audiences a haunting exploration of familial duty and moral ambiguity in a sophisticated and compelling theatrical experience.
About The Oresteia
At Bridge Theatre, The Oresteia is Simon Stone’s contemporary take on a Greek myth. A contemporary family wakes up inside the story and cannot seem to find a way out of its hellish destiny.
Stone is an Australian theatre and film director known for his radical reworkings of classic works, including Yerma and Phaedra. He also staged The Lady from the Sea at the Bridge Theatre last year.
Key facts: BSL performance on Saturday 12 December at 14:30. Please contact the venue to book this performance.
