The Oresteia
The Bridge Theatre
Simon Stone directs the Oresteia at the Bridge Theatre, setting Aeschylus's ancient Greek tragedy in the present. A family caught in cycles of revenge and violence - patterns that have played out for 2,500 years unchanged. This is substantial theatre about inherited trauma, how wars wound families, the logic revenge takes on. Not a night out for distraction.
Stone's assembled a strong creative team - Lizzie Clachan designed it, Stefan Gregory composed the music - so the production matches the weight of what it's about. Go if you want theatre that's genuinely about something, not just a show. The kind of evening that opens a conversation afterwards.
