Orestes: A Tragic Romp

Translated/Adapted by Anne Washburn

From the play by Euripides

Directed by Aaron Posner

This event has passed

The war is over, the parents murdered, the palace surrounded, and Orestes and Electra await judgment by both Gods and men… just a typical day in the House of Atreus. Grave yet giddy, fierce yet fun, Anne Washburn’s razor sharp modern adaptation blows more than 2000 years of dust off Euripides’ surprisingly fresh and still wildly relevant classic.
