Reading of "Agamenon"
Monday, June 18th at 8 pm
Reading of
Agamemnon
from the
Oresteia
trilogy by Aeschylus.
The
Oresteia
is a trilogy of Greek tragedies written by Aeschylus in the 5th century BC, concerning the murder of
Agamemnon
by Clytaemnestra, the murder of Clytaemnestra by Orestes, the trial of Orestes, the end of the curse on the House of Atreus and pacification of the Erinyes. The trilogy—consisting of Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers, and The Eumenides—also shows how the Greek gods interacted with the characters and influenced their decisions pertaining to events and disputes. The only extant example of an ancient Greek theatre trilogy, the Oresteia won first prize at the Dionysia festival in 458 BC. Many consider the Oresteia to be Aeschylus' finest work. The principal themes of the trilogy include the contrast between revenge and justice, as well as the transition from personal vendetta to organized litigation. Orestia originally included a satyr play, Proteus, following the tragic trilogy, but all except a single line of Proteus has been lost.
This is a Pay-What-You-Wish Event

This one-night only event will feature the music of Barbra Streisand, Judy Garland, and so much more performed by Carole J. Bufford & Lianne Marie Dobbs, who can be seen Tuesday-Sunday as Faye in “Chapter Two” here at Cape May Stage.
