DIRECTOR’S NOTE
You can’t go home. This play has a particular
care for and interest in its victims. The residentinciting event is endless. tragedy is much more
concerned with footnotes than it is with gods.well acquainted with what happens afterward,
storytellers claim they can’t diverge from what’swritten: resist. rage against what must be.
tell a story about war without talkingabout love. survive its aftermath. fail
to find resolution. make this sufferinga home. There’s no breaking this chain—
fate, as always, gets its way.Poetry assembled from the program of an Oresteia production. Nov. 2023.
