The Bridge Theatre has announced casting for The Oresteia, written and directed by Simon Stone (after Aeschylus and others), which will officially open at the Bridge Theatre on the 14th July.

It is set to star:  David Morrissey as Christopher, Tom Glynn-Carney as Augie, Mary-Louise Parker as Montie, Rosie Sheehy as Alice, Lloyd Hutchinson as Melville, John Macmillan as Jerome and Archie Madekwe as Lorenzo.

A contemporary family wakes up in a Greek myth and can’t seem to find a way out of their hellish destiny.

The production has been created in collaboration with  Wouter van Ransbeek and will play for 11 weeks only.

Through his previous work, Simon Stone is known for his distinctive takes on classic material, including his productions of Yerma, Phaedra and last year’s Lady From the Sea which took place at the Bridge Theatre.

Meanwhile, the creative team includes:  set designer Lizzie Clachan, costume designer Mel Page, music by Stefan Gregory, lighting designer Nick Schlieper, and casting director Jessica Ronane.
