Orestes
T0
Agamemnon is slain by Clytemnestra. Clytemnestra is slain by her avenging son, Otestes. The House of Mycenae lies in ruins. Orestes is condemned to death by his own citizens. Tormented by guilt, desperate and alone, it takes just a small spark to ignite the forces of his destructive wrath. Shocking in its modernity and compelling in its tragic vision,
Orestes is Euripdes' savage twist on the legendary fall of an ancient dynasty.
