Orestes
(part of the Addicted to Myth season of short plays)
Hayman Theatre Company

Developed as a part of my course, this 10 minute production was my revisioning of the Oresteia from ancient greek mythology.

Based on the philosophical sensitivities of Jean Paul Satre, the piece was designed to be a highly visceral experience, utilising physical performance style with a highly emotive musical soundscape, reminiscent of traditional Greek theatre.

• Designed set, costume, makeup and sound.
• Directed student actors.
• Compiled the script from a range of existing texts from Euripides to Satre.
• Acted in a leadership position, resolving cast and crew issues to see the production successfully into completion.
