STC YAP - Oresteia Social Night

It was an absolutely extraordinary production, with a powerful direction and design, and incredible performances by The Reso’s. Also, a big shout out to Fergus Brown and his band who performed an amazing set at The Wharf Sessions - especially Holly Austin and her mesmerising Kazoo!

Quote from Time Out review

Oresteia_new

 

"The Residents are a skilful and seamless ensemble.  Zindzi Okenyo as Clytemnestra radiates an energy that seems to have been transmitted across the millennia. Julia Ohanessian is haunting as abused seer Cassandra. Tahki Saul's brief appearance as Agamemnon is arresting, and Brett Stiller and Sophie Ross also stand out as the offspring of the dead monarchs." - Time Out Sydney
