The Department of Theatre Arts' spring mainstage play opened this weekend in Norton Clapp Theatre. The Oresteia is a modern adaptation of Aeschylus’ ancient trilogy of plays by American playwright Ellen McLaughlin. Drawing inspiration from South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, this play grapples with not just how cycles of violence occur, but how it mobilizes a community to move beyond punitive judgment and individual blame toward the complexities of repair. The Oresteia runs through March 8. Get tickets here.
