Oresteia: Oberon Classics

Autor Aeschylus Adaptat de Robert Icke
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 apr 2022
Orestes' parents are at war. A family drama spanning several decades, a huge, moving, bloody saga, Aeschylus' greatest and final play asks whether justice can ever be done - and continues to resonate more than two millennia after it was written.

Following Mr Burns and 1984, Almeida Associate Director Robert Icke radically reimagines Oresteia for the modern stage, in its first major London production in more than a decade. Lia Williams returns to the Almeida as Klytemnestra.

Recenzii

This Oresteia is a stunning start to the Almeida's six-month season of Greek drama... [The] newly minted first act is a masterpiece... Icke underpins all the mythic resonance here with a razor eye for domestic and psychological detail... the sheer amount of ambition and skill in this quiet riot of theatricality is so great that this still grips, surprises and unsettles throughout. Huge themes, ordinary people, great performances, big success.

"By far the best translation. Faithful to the original Greek text and eminently readable. The notes constitute a commentary in their own right."--Albert Henrichs, Harvard University "Hugh Lloyd-Jones's translation stands out very much from any other. The notes are first class and scholarly."--Jeffrey Rusten, Cornell University
