The Oresteia

About The Oresteia

The Oresteia is at the Bridge Theatre, London. Simon Stone, the Australian theatre and film director known for his radical reimagining of classic works including Yerma and Phaedra, returns to the venue after The Lady from the Sea, which starred Alicia Vikander and Andrew Lincoln.

The production follows a contemporary family waking up in a Greek myth and trying to find a way out of their hellish destiny. It places a modern story inside a mythic framework, with Stone continuing his work at the Bridge Theatre.

Key facts: BSL interpreted performances are listed for Saturday 12 September at 14:30 and Saturday 12th December at 14:30. Contact the venue to book these performances.
