In the original Greek classic “Oresteia,” written by Aeschylus, the madness in the House of Atreus ends on a happy note. But in Tanghalang Ateneo’s version, “Ang Oresteyas,” the conclusion is more ambiguous; the play places the protagonist’s fate in the hands of the live theater audience, and ends with a question mark.
Tanghalang Ateneo opens its 2013-2014 season with “Ang Oresteyas,” BJ Crisostomo’s Tagalog translation and adaptation of ancient Greek playwright Aeschylus’ trilogy “The Oresteia.”
