THIS RESTLESS HOUSE

From bloodstained palace to secure services in hospital, Zinnie Harris transforms Greek myth into three gripping tales where vengeance and love, viscerally collide.

Part 1: Agamemnon’s Return
Having sacrificed his daughter Iphigenia to the Gods, Agamemnon returns home triumphantly from war. His wife Clytemnestra faces her own ultimate dilemma. Can she forgive the one that murdered her child? Meanwhile, where do our sympathies lie when state and family both demand allegiance?

Part 2: The Bough Breaks
When your father has sacrificed your sister and your mother has killed your father, what remains to be done? Amongst the story of an unravelling marriage and an exploration of motherhood and identity, siblings Electra and Orestes test how far love’s bough can bend before it breaks.

Part 3: Electra and Her Shadow
As Electra confronts grief and faces judgement, her shadow reveals the darker truths we suppress within ourselves. A thrilling, psychological exploration of how actions long ago have unintended and far-reaching consequences. Where one is consumed, another finds an uneasy release and peace.
