Home Siege Home March 26, 2009

A disarmingly funny but ultimately heartbreaking trilogy of new plays based on Aeschylus' Oresteia. Devised by The Ghost Road Company, one of California's most ambitious experimental, multimedia theater ensembles, the three plays - "Clytemnestra," "Elektra" and "Orestes" - use original music and songs, innovative text and arresting visual imagery to explore the intimate lives of one ancient and powerful family through our contemporary eyes.

"Home Siege Home" will be performed in two parts that offer audiences the opportunity to see each part singly as a stand-alone production or to view both consecutively over the course of a weekend afternoon and evening with a break for dinner. Part 1: "Clytemnestra" will perform every other Thursday, every other Friday, and every Saturday and Sunday at 4 pm; Part 2: "Elektra" and "Orestes" (performed together) will run on the alternate Thursdays and Fridays as well as every Saturday and Sunday evening.

Adult admission is $20 with a special price of $12 for full-time students with ID. Tickets to watch both Part 1 and Part 2 together on Saturdays and Sundays are priced at $30. Thursday night performances are Pay-What-You-Can.
