The ensemble devised adaptation of the entire Oresteia Trilogy (Agamemnon, Elektra, and Orestes ) coming in March 26-May 3, 2009 at [Inside] the Ford . This will be a re-imagining of the ensemble's previous adaptations, creating one cohesive piece about the fall of the House of Atreu as seen through our own personal and public lives. With original songs and music. For more information and tickets visit the John Anson Ford's [Inside] the Ford new play series website.

Part 1 Clytemnestra – Part 2 Electra & Orestes (performed together)
Conceived and Directed by Katharine Noon and Developed in Workshop by the Ensemble
Presented by The Ghost Road Company
March 26 – May 3

A trilogy more than 10 years in the making becomes complete on the [Inside] stage. Inspired in part by The Oresteia, this highly theatrical, multi-media piece explores the intimate lives of one powerful family and their ill-fated decisions born out of vengeance for past wrongs. The drama is played out against the backdrop of an unpopular war overseas and the social, political and emotional impact of such a war on those left at home.
