Translated / Adapted by
Anne Washburn
From the play by Euripides
Directed by Aaron Posner
The war is over, the parents murdered,
the palace surrounded, and Orestes and
Electra await judgment by both Gods and men...just a typical day in the House of Atreus. Grave yet giddy, fierce yet fun, Anne Washburn’s razor sharp modern adaptation blows more than 2000 years of dust off Euripides’ surprisingly fresh and still wildly relevant classic.
Co-production with Folger Theatre, Washington, D.C.
