Robert Icke’s Oresteia takes the 3-play action of Aeschylus’ monumental The Oresteia – a founding work of western drama – into a single contemporary domestic crime‑drama. Aeschylus’ greatest and final play was a searing familial saga that examines the sins of a family over several decades and explores whether justice can ever really be done.
