Suceeding Into the Woods this summer, The Bridge Theatre swaps fairytales for Greek Mythology in this new production of Aeschylus' dramatic tale of familial strife after the return of patriarch Agamemnon after the Greek victory at Troy. Simon Stone returns to the venue following The Lady From the Sea last year, promising to add his radical vision to the ages-old text, commenting: "as long as humankind wages wars and as long as families tear themselves apart, this story will remain painfully, cathartically relevant."

'Settled life' - is there ever such a thing? Simon Stone (The Lady From The Sea) reimagines Anton Chekhov's four-act 19th-century drama at London's Bridge Theatre with Critics' Circle Award winner Chris Pine at the forefront in his stage debut as Nikolai. The story about a government official whose wife is unknowingly plagued with tuberculosis, constantly brings up the concepts of human integrity, deceit and dishonesty.
