A murdered Queen, an anguished (and guilty) son, an over-protective sister and three ancient Aunties from hell present a few problems for Athena and Apollo as they attempt to usher in the new order. Set in the crumbling House of Atreus, memory and history come together bringing Orestes face to face with the consequences of murdering his mother, Clytemnestra, while those around him seek to use his actions to further their own ambitions. Orestes Remembered asks the question; are we becoming a more just society or a more savage one? The previous installments in this series were Elektra-La-La (1995), directed by Noon and co-written by Noon and Brian Howrey, and Clyt at Home (2001), directed by Noon and co-written by Noon and Chris Dewan. All three pieces have been ensemble-devised.

The initial development of Orestes Remembered: The Fury Project was done in residency at Loyola Marymount University using a combination of Ghost Road Company members and students from the Theatre department. For Ghost Road, being invited to develop new work in residency at a university gives the company a way to introduce students into the hands-on process of creating and performing ensemble-devised theatre alongside experienced artists. Ghost Road sees this as a great opportunity to encourage and teach the next generation of theatre artists as well as invigorating their own work by engaging students and professionals with differing perspectives, points of view, and life experiences.
