The Oresteia

About The Oresteia

The Oresteia at the Bridge Theatre is a contemporary production about a family that wakes up in a Greek myth and cannot seem to find a way out of its destiny. It places a modern family inside a world shaped by myth, with the story unfolding from that starting point.

It is directed by Simon Stone, the acclaimed Australian theatre and film director known for radical reworkings of classic works including Yerma and Phaedra. Stone has also recently staged The Lady from the Sea at the Bridge Theatre, starring Alicia Vikander and Andrew Lincoln.

Key facts: There is a BSL performance on Saturday 12th December at 14:30. Please contact the venue to book for this performance.
