Observations

  1. On 3rd September 2023 at 3:58 a.m., Fabrisse noted:

    Since the entire company were behind identical masks, no one who wasn’t part of the production knows for certain who played which role.

    I’m 90% certain that Jim Carter played Clytemnestra. Whether or not I’m right, Clytemnestra in the first play, Agamemnon, was the high point of the day. The chorus work on The Eumenides was excellent. The Libation Bearers had a couple of good moments, but really hasn’t stuck with me the way the first and third plays of the trilogy have.

    I saw it twice, both times in full six hour runs with a dinner break. The stagecraft of Agamemnon’s body with the regal Clytemnestra standing beside was the most striking visual of the plays. Cassandra’s moment of prophecy and the chorus completely getting it and then completely forgetting her words was another great moment in the first play.

    The courtroom drama of The Eumenides was a little static, but had excellent chorus work and an interesting Athena. I’ve seen scenes from it in another context and know it could have been far more compelling, but the chorus, Athena, and the Procession to close the trilogy were excellently done.
