The Oresteia
Overview of the production
A contemporary family wakes up in a Greek myth and can’t seem to find a way out of their hellish destiny.
Writer and director Simon Stone is joined by the same creative team that brought the “fantastically original, gripping and magnificent” (The Guardian) The Lady from the Sea to life; set designer Lizzie Clachan, costume designer Mel Page, music by Stefan Gregory, lighting designer Nick Schlieper, and casting director Jessica Ronane CDG.
The Oresteia is produced by London Theatre Company and Wouter van Ransbeek.
