Charles Meeâs irreverent, surreal and
earthbreaking retelling of the Oresteia wheels
brother and sister, Orestes and Electra, through a
nightmarish and comic dreamscape of autopsy
suites, hospital wards, kangaroo courtrooms and
hostage takings as they face the emotional and
legal consequences of having murdered their
mother, who murdered their father. Mee uses
humor and horror to link Orestes' and Electra's
story to serial killers, political scandal, terrorism and war.
