Oresteia

Robert Icke (1984) won an Olivier Award for directing this modernized and condensed 2015 version of Aeschylus's seminal three-part tragedy, in which a returning king ends up in a bloodbath and furious recriminations ensue. Lia Williams (Skylight) reprises her critically lauded London performance as the vengeful Klytemnestra, and Hildegard Bechtler designs the sets and costumes; in its North American debut at the Park Avenue Armory, the production runs in rep with Icke's version of Hamlet.
