THE ORESTEIA is returning to London after its invigorating West End engagement in 2015 and will play at the Bridge Theatre for a limited run.
Simon Stone, acclaimed Australian theatre and film director known for his radical reimagining of classic works, including Yerma and Phaedra, continues to make the Bridge Theatre his London home after staging The Lady from the Sea starring Alicia Vikander and Andrew Lincoln last year.
A contemporary family wakes up in a Greek myth and can’t seem to find a way out of their hellish destiny.
