Hamlet & Oresteia

Park Avenue Armory, New York

Hamlet: This highly charged staging transforms the traditional family drama into a psychological thriller, transporting the action to a contemporary surveillance society, in which the lines between ‘public’ and ‘private’ are blurred.

Oresteia: Aeschylus’ greatest and final play is a searing familial saga that examines the sins of a family over several decades and explores whether justice can ever really be served.
