A new play based on Aeschylus’ Oresteia
Adapted by David Bullen
Original Music by James Proctor & Todd James
Lyrics by Alexander Woodward with S.J. Brady

7-9th July 2012 @ the Courtyard theatre, Hoxton.

Electra lives in the same house as the woman who murdered her father – as it happens, that woman is her mother. When she finally takes revenge, what follows moves from the minute scale of family drama to the truly cosmic, as gods and mortals clamour for justice – or a justice that silences those screaming the truth.

Performance is combined with live music, multimedia and installation art in this politically charged and thrilling production, premiering at one of London’s top fringe theatres. Based on Aeschylus’ Oresteia, the story is one of the oldest in Western theatre and is re-told in the hope of raising awareness of continued inequality in Britain today.
