Oresteia archiveOrestes is the ultimate tragic figure, caught between his duty to avenge his father's murder at his mother's hand, and the loyalty a son owes to his mother. He kills his mother and is relentlessly pursued by furies. Athena provides the refuge and counsel of healing.

In this adaptation, the hero, Orestes, appears before us, his judges, to answer to the crime of matricide. Sandy Grierson (Best Actor Critics’ Award for Theatre in Scotland 2007) plays Orestes in an intense solo portrayal that tests the limits of physical performance as it plunges the audience directly into Aeschylus’ timeless themes of revenge, torture, guilt and justice. Robert Potter’s 1886 translation has been pared down to an absolute minimum. Staged with extreme simplicity, with a haunting soundtrack by Davey Anderson (Rupture; Black Watch; Snuff), this is a visually stunning and challenging piece of theatre that sears its place in the mind.Company Lazzi Theatre.
