He who learns must suffer. Before setting out for the Trojan War,
King Agamemnon sacrificed his daughter Iphigenia. Many years later,
when Agamemnon returns to his palace, his adulterous Queen
Clytemnestra takes her revenge by brutally murdering him and
installing her lover on the throne. How will the gods judge
Orestes, their estranged son, who must avenge his father's death by
murdering his mother? The curse of the House of Atreus, passing
from generation to generation, is one of the great myths of Western
literature. In the hands of Aeschylus, the story enacts the final
victory of reason and justice over superstition and barbarity. The
original trilogy, comprising Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers and
Eumenides, is distilled into one thrilling three-act play in this
magnificent new translation by award-winning playwright Rory
Mullarkey.
