This timeless play roars to life in an extraordinary adaptation by award-winnlng playwright Ellen McLaughlin, set in modern day. Agamemnon returns triumphant from Troy with his captive concubine Cassandra. Waiting for him, after 10 years of war, is his wife Clytemnestra who has planned a special welcome for the man who killed their daughter years ago so his ships could sail to battle.
Performed by two casts for four performances, what follows is a tragic unfolding of revenge that pulls the entire family in until the venegeful Furies are called to pass judgement...and surprisingly they have been there all along. Will blood-have-blood? Or can there be another way?
