We Three, one of Canberra's local theatre companies, are Ancient Greece to Belconnen! Adapted by award-winning playwright, Rachel Hogan, Agamemnon's canny Wise Woman guides audiences through the alien world of ancient Mycenae, its beliefs and behaviours, and the metaphysical perils courted by the play's protagonists.

Ancient and modern combine, in an evocative original score, created by Jazz student and metal bassist Alex Johnson and international didge maestro Ian Wood. Local artists Helena Hills and Chandra Crowther have given the show a look very far removed from pastel tunics and white pillars. And six of Canberra's gifted performers bring to life an archaic world of ritual, ecstasy, and the inexorable call of blood...

Agamemnon plays at Belconnen Theatre on 11 to 13 June and 17 to 20 June at 8pm, with tickets at $20/$15.

For the purists, though, there is a special treat: one very special performance at Carey's Cave, Wee Jasper 14 June at 5pm, with tickets at $40.
