REVIEW: Oresteia, Almeida Theatre ✭✭✭
This is Oresteia, not The Oresteia, the trilogy of plays (Agamennon, The Libation Bearers, The Eumenides) which won Aeschylus a prize in 458BC and which is considered the "original family drama" and the launching pad for all modern drama, but the free-wheeling, self-indulgent, filmic, and loose "adaptation" by Robert Icke which is now playing at the Almeida, kicking off Rupert Goold's Greeks season. There are some wonderful images, some potent exchanges, some brilliant flashes of inspiration - but, overall, it does not hold together dramatically. For a production which lasts three hours and forty minutes, many many minutes are spent biding time.
