The Oresteia
Were the ancient Greeks really entertained by this? Enquiring minds really want to know. Originally written around 458BC, it seems a little dated. The acting and speech seemed a little wooden, and the combination of modern and ancient dress in this production didn't come off well. I think if you're going to do this, you need to make free with the script and sit firmly on one side or the other of ancient/ modern dress and setting.
So I went to see this at The Globe, a massive 5 minute walk from where I work. Unfortunately it seems that City airport also took it into their heads to launch or land planes at inconvenient moments.
Remember people, if you're going to sit for 3+ hours in a building where some windows are missing, wear warm clothing and get a cushion to prevent bum numbness.
I could say that all I got was this lousy t-shirt, but I quite like it.
