Description

This Restless House: A Trilogy of Plays Based Around the Oresteia by Zinnie Harris

A reworking of Aeschylus' ancient drama, this four-hour epic explores ambition and power through the eyes of women. The cycle of revenge and counter-revenge begins with Agamemnon's sacrifice of his daughter, setting in motion a bloody chain of events that continues until peace is found in the rule of law.

Winner of Best New Play at the Critics' Awards for Theatre in Scotland, this Restless House premiered at the Citizens Theatre, Glasgow, in April 2016. Zinnie Harris brings a contemporary sensibility to rework the stories, placing the women at the centre and exploring themes that remain relevant today.
