Adapted from the Greek tragedy trilogy, Ellen McLaughlin’s The Oresteia is playing at Shakespeare Theatre Company through June 2. On the surface, it’s an epic story about love, betrayal, murder and revenge. But at its core, The Oresteia is a critique of human civilization. McLaughlin condenses the trilogy into one dynamic show with expert finesse.
You can use code 19UNDER35 for your $25 ticket to Young Prose Night next Wednesday, May 22, and receive a complimentary wine or Ballast Point Brewing Company Lager! http://www.shakespearetheatre.org/tickets-and-events/special-offers/under-35/#ypn
