Orestes was the first Cambiare production to come wholly from our process and we returned to the Greeks to make it happen. As with The Nina Variations, we trusted to the open call process and were blessed with a talented dedicated cast. Orestes was our most ambitious show to date and an excellent step towards producing more aggressively in the future.
