Agamemnon, King of Argos, returns from Troy after 10 years of bloody battle and a victory whose price included the life of his first-born. Meanwhile his wife, Queen Clytemnestra, has been patiently awaiting her husband’s return while planning her vengeance for her daughter’s murder. When the King arrives, an unexpected surprise accompanies his fateful return to a war-weary city and a house savagely torn apart by sorrow. M.F.A Directing candidate Sonny Das directs the premiere stage production of the BBC Radio 3 adaptation by Simon Scardifield that examines war, justice, responsibility and revenge through Aeschylus’ millennia-old classic Greek legend.

This production runs 1 hour and 45 minutes with no intermission.
