David Esbjornson directs a cast that also includes Eliza Foss, Cheyenne Casebier, James Gale, Gina Leishman, Erik Heger, Jeffrey Steitzer and Yusef Bulos. According to press notes, "Orestes, which was written by Euripides circa 408 B.C.E., explores the aftermath of a man's decision to commit matricide for what he sees as a just cause, and how it affects everyone around him. In accordance with the advice of the Greek god Apollo, Orestes has killed his mother in order to avenge her murder of his father. Orestes is plagued by guilt and madness over the murders, and is comforted by his sister, Electra. To complicate matters further, a leading political faction wants to put Orestes to death for the murder."
