  • Oresteia is the unmissable acclaimed masterpiece brought to you from the Almeida Theatre - a venue renowned for introducing ground-breaking, critically acclaimed transfers to the West End. Following Chimerica, Ghosts, King Charles III and 1984, Oresteia is their most recent exhilarating theatrical feat.
    A huge, moving, bloody saga, the original of all family dramas, Aeschylus' greatest and final play asks whether justice can ever be done?
    Part Godfather, part Breaking Bad, this new reimagined version of the epic Greek saga is the unmissable event of the year.
    Directed by Robert Icke (Mr. Burns; 1984) and starring Lia Williams (Old Times; Earthquakes in London) as Klytemnestra, and Jessica Brown Findlay (Downton Abbey) as Electra.
    The unmissable acclaimed masterpiece at Trafalgar Studios from 22 August until 7 November 2015, book your Oresteia tickets today!

  • ‘Electrifying. The Almeida’s latest, superb West End transfer. Lia Williams is absolutely riveting as Klytemnestra’
    Kate Bassett,

    The Times




    ‘Theatre at its most vital. As alarmingly good as it is intense and distressing. If you see only one play this autumn, make it this one.’

    Londonist




    Robert Icke’s outstanding modern updating, which achieves the hurtling momentum of the best box-sets. Slickly compelling viewing.
    This is Greek drama humanised and modernised and it’s a tremendous achievement.
    Fiona Mountford,

    Evening Standard




    'Luminously interpreted with central performances of captivating precision from Angus Wright and Lia Williams’
    Jane Shilling,

    Daily Telegraph



    ‘The best show of the year. Shockingly good.’
    ‘A once-in-a-lifetime piece of theatre. The best thing that’s been on the stage this year’.
