watch the confrontation between Clytemnestra and Orestes (52:22-57:17) in the 1983 production of the Libation Bearers in the Oresteia trilogy by Aeschylus. Mommy Issues play of all time. utterly obsessed with the actor who plays Orestes's performance and delivery of his grievances in this confrontation. The translation is a little weird with the rhyming and alliteration BUT it really creates an interesting auditory vibe to it.
