    About this ebook

    Orestes’ parents are at war. A family drama spanning several decades, a huge, moving, bloody saga, Aeschylus’ greatest and final play asks whether justice can ever be done – and continues to resonate more than two millennia after it was written.

    This new adaptation of Oresteia was first performed at the Almeida in Summer 2015, marking the first major London production of Oresteia in over a decade.
