Synopsis
"The Murders at Argos" retells the Oreseia story with Orestes and Electra as murderous teens. The play is set in Ancient Greece but the world of the play is hilariously, horrifyingly modern: the absent father, the self-involved mother, the alienated children sinking into violence and madness in society gone terribly awry. "Cressida Among the Greeks" takes place during the last days of the Trojan War. The story of the doomed lovers is woven together with the foibles of the Trojan royal family as they try to stave off the impending disaster.
