Orestes

A radical reworking of Euripides at Guildhall

Orestes at the Guildhall School

A brother and sister face a death sentence for the murder of their mother. Disenfranchised and without shelter, they hatch a terrible plot to alter their fate.

In the brutal landscape of this radical reworking of Euripides, a leaderless generation, betrayed by its elders, rises up to exact revenge.

by Euripides
Translated by Kenneth McLeish

Presented by the Guildhall School of Music & Drama.
