    Thyestes
    By Seneca

    Michaelmas Week 7

    A new staging of Seneca's grotesque tragedy, telling the story of two brothers' struggle for the throne. Thyestes seduced Atreus’ wife and siezed the throne, leaving Atreus unsure of his own children’s parentage. Atreus now plans to reverse the roles of victim and villain; he has regained the throne, casting his brother into exile, and is contemplating further revenge...
