Orestes: Blood and Light
to
College of St. Scholastica 1200 Kenwood Ave., Duluth, Minnesota 55811
As children, Electra and Orestes are banished by their mother after witnessing her brutally murder their father. Finally coming of age, they return to avenge King Agamemnon by killing Klytemnestra. We witness as the city divides over deciding their fate; should they be executed or banished? Inflamed by war, emotions escalate as many in the city are calling for blood. Based on the Euripides’ play, Helen Edmundson skillfully explores human tragedy against the backdrop of war.
