14 - Oresteia by Robert Icke

April 15, 2021 • Nancy Netherwood & Sam Webber • Season 1 • Episode 15

Part 2 of an Oresteia double bill, this time we take a look at Robert Icke's totally new adaptation of last episode's classic. We talk altering plot points, phycological complexity, and the time period-fluid setting of Icke's plays.

Have some feedback? A play you'd like us to cover?
