This translation is the result of a close collaboration between theatre director and playwright, Andy Hinds (author of Acting Shakespeares Language), and Classics scholar, Dr. Martine Cuypers (Trinity College Dublin). Whilst preserving a scholarly fidelity to the original Greek, the translation is written in a clear and energetic verse, designed to be as 'performable' in the theatre, as it is readable in the home or study. It will be of equal interest and use, therefore, to teachers, students and academics, to actors and directors, and to the general reader. The Oresteia is released as a companion volume to Hinds translation of Iphigenia in Aulis. Iphigenia represents Euripides version of a key episode in the great saga, The Fall of the House of Atreus, while The Oresteia relates Aeschylus version of the continuation and conclusion of the saga.
Andy Hinds has been a theatre director, playwright and acting teacher for thirty years, and for ten years was Artistic Director of Classic Stage Ireland. He has lectured for a number of years on classic European Theatre at the Drama Studies Centre at UCD and recently conducted a series of Masterclasses in 'Acting Shakespeare' at Shakespeare's Globe in London.
