Following the fall of Troy, Agamemnon returns home a triumphant hero – but all is not what he expects in Mycenae. A vibrant new performing version of the iconic Greek revenge tragedy, The Oresteia is an explosive and moving examination of family relationships and the tenuous bonds between husbands, wives, mothers and sons.
