Newton Theatre Company’s production last summer of “Agamemnon” is back with the final two pieces of Aeschylus' famous Greek tragedy. Watch the youngest members of the House of Atreus attempt to avenge the death of their father at the hands of their mother, see mortal women turn into justice-seeking furies, and cast your vote in history's first homicide trial. Run time is approximately 90 minutes and will feature a discussion with Boston College Classics Professor Chris Polt. Directed by Melissa Bernstein. Admission is FREE. Rain location is inside the Newton Cultural Center at City Hall.
