Oresteia - 2015 - West End History , Info & More

Trafalgar Theatre (Formally Trafalgar Studio 1)
14 Whitehall, Westminster, London SW1A 2DY, United Kingdom London

A never to be forgotten theatrical experience.

A huge, moving, bloody saga, the original of all family dramas, Aeschylus' greatest and final play asks whether justice can ever be done?

Part Godfather, part Breaking Bad, this new reimagined version of the epic Greek saga is the unmissable event of the year.

Oresteia is brought to you from the team behind the multi award winning and critically acclaimed 1984 and transfers direct from a sellout run at the Almeida, where it has been universally hailed as an astonishing, bold and exhilarating theatrical feat. Directed by Robert Icke (Mr. Burns; 1984) and starring Lia Williams (Old Times; Earthquakes in London) as Klytemnestra and Jessica Brown Findlay (Downton Abbey) as Electra.
