About the Show

Robert Icke condensed and modernized the Greek trilogy into a single performance.

Lia Williams ('The Crown,' 'His Dark Materials') returns to the role for which she was nominated for an Olivier Award for Best Actress, Klytemnestra, in this new, contemporary version of the epic revenge tragedy. Plays in repertory with 'Hamlet.'

Aeschylus’ final play explores the sins of a family over several decades and explores whether justice can ever really be done.

This is the North American premiere for Icke's reimagined Olivier-winning 'Oresteia' that premiered at the Almeida Theatre in London. By putting 'Oresteia' in rep with 'Hamlet,' it allows audiences to see the connections in the classic plays written over 2,000 years apart.
