Orestes
Nimbus at the Minneapolis Theater Garage through September 23; 651.229.3122
By Quinton Skinner
Published on September 19, 2007
Nimbus follows up last June's Agamemnon with the completion of its two-part staging of Aeschylus' Oresteia trilogy, and this edition provides energy and insight to match the first. A helpful recap comes at the beginning, and it involves cannibalism, epic war, spousal murder, and the sort of need for revenge in which the Greek dramatists specialized.
From there it's up to Orestes (Brian Hesser) to off his mother Clytemnestra (Katherine Kupiecki), then run like hell from the bat-shit insane Furies (Charla Baily, Emma Gochberg, Ariel Pinkerton, in heavy makeup and rags, hissing and howling with convincing otherworldliness). Clearly this mess has to be figured out, so enter the smug and imperious Apollo (Andrew Chambers) and the icily cerebral Athena (Jessica Wright).
