Orestes 2.0
by Charles Mee |
Robert E. Nims Theatre |
The “curse of Atreus” is alive and well in Argos. Orestes, having killed his mother and her lover as revenge for the slaughter of his father, finds himself tormented by the guilt of the murder and the goddess Furies. As told through a mixture of modern prosaic and ancient lyrical style, Charles Mee captures the soul of Euripides’ timeless play and asks the basic question; do we control our fate or are we bound to the mistakes of our ancestors?
