A two-part theatrical epic. CHILDREN OF AGAMEMNON combines Euripides' IPHIGENIA AT AULIS, ELECTRA, ORESTES and IPHIGENIA AT TAURIS into a single narrative. Following the House of Atreus before, during and after the Trojan War; the play explores how an act of infidelity sets events in motion afflicting a family with violence, abuse and vengeance during a time of great political strife, war and social upheaval. Actions of one generation affects the other for the worse and violence begets violence in a seemingly endless cycle. And though the family is born to royalty, wealth and prestige, the Gods are always present and more than willing to remind them they still are all-too mortal and at their mercy.
This English adaptation of Euripides is in rhymed verse to create an approximation of the rhythms and poetry of the original Greek text.
