Splendid Productions' The Oresteia (streaming video)
Splendid Productions present an epic, murderous tale of family, history, vengeance and honour in a story nearly as old as theatre.
Condensing Aeschylus’s classic trilogy into an hour, filmed live on stage, Splendid’s regal cast of three retell the story of King Agamemnon, his queen Clytemnestra, and their children, Iphigenia, Electra and Orestes. A legendary family born to power, but destined to rip itself apart in a bloody cycle of tragedy.

ABOUT SPLENDID STREAMING VIDEO
The video is available to stream from this website as either a 30-day or 1-year time-limited rental. An internet connection is required, and the video is compatible with all browser-based devices. We do not share private data – for full details see our privacy policy.
DVDs
1-year rentals include the option to be sent a DVD (you can make this choice during checkout), and we also offer the 1yr Streaming Super Pack which includes the optional DVD, plus hard copy of the script and both digital and physical versions of the Education Pack that accompanied the original tour.
CHECKING OUT
During the checkout you will create a user account and set a password (or log in to an existing account). After checkout you’ll be emailed a coupon. Applying the coupon will add this video to your account, and you can access it at any time during the rental period by logging into to your account.
WATCHING IMMEDIATELY
For instant access, we recommend using the credit/debit card or Paypal options during checkout. You can choose the ‘pay with invoice’ option, but we will only email the access coupon when the invoice payment has been received – IF YOU REQUIRE INSTANT ACCESS PLEASE DO NOT CHOOSE THIS OPTION!
BUYING ACCESS FOR SOMEONE ELSE?
We’re aware that many institutions require finance offices to make payments. With any of the above options, during checkout you have the option to send the streaming video coupon to an alternative email. (For example, if you are a finance person arranging the rental for a teacher, just add their email address to the ‘send to someone else’ option.)
This email will be sent automatically when payment is made, so choose the credit/debit card or Paypal options for instant access. If you want to pay by PO/invoice you can choose the ‘pay with invoice’ option, but the coupon will only be sent to your requested email address once payment has been received, which may take some time.
APPLYING THE COUPON
The coupon will be sent to the email address specified. Click on the coupon and your browser will automatically open the streaming video page and apply the voucher, reducing the price of the ‘purchase’ to £0.00. You will then go through the checkout process once more to apply the coupon.
I’M ORDERING THIS FOR MYSELF, WHY DO I HAVE TO CHECK OUT TWICE?
Because access is applied using the coupon, the first checkout ‘buys’ the coupon and the second ‘applies’ it. If you are already logged into your account when you click on the coupon, this should only take a couple of extra clicks.
