In this fast, fresh, and feminist adaptation of Aeschylus’s ancient trilogy of plays, Ellen McLaughlin invites us to question what justice looks like in action. In The Oresteia, each member of a family enacts a kind of violence intended to right a wrong. Instead, violence perpetuates violence and a cycle of harm makes each person “morally unrecognizable” even to themselves.
