OHMYGOD HEY!

Last week I saw two of this summer's buzziest cultural arrivals: the new film adaptation of THE ODYSSEY written and directed by Christopher Nolan and the stage adaptation of THE ORESTEIA at the Bridge Theatre written and directed by Simon Stone.

Today, I'm sharing my thoughts about each of these creative projects alongside one another, talking through their adaptations, endings, aesthetics, material and performances.

Find out how these two ancient stories from Homer and Aeschylus overlap and what I thought of each of them...
