Description

Agamemnon by Steven Berkoff and Aeschylus is a powerful exploration of human nature, set against the backdrop of war and its effects on the body. Through a unique adaptation of Aeschylus' tragedy, Berkoff examines the themes of heat, battle, fatigue, and the obscenity of modern warfare. This version of Agamemnon evolved over several years of workshop sessions with the London Theatre Group, as Berkoff sought to bring new energy to the ancient text. The result is a work that retains the core elements of Aeschylus' original while forging its own path. By reimagining this classic tragedy, Berkoff offers a thought-provoking commentary on the human condition, one that continues to resonate with audiences today.
