“Electra” at McCarter Theatre

“Electra”
by Sophocles
Adapted by Frank McGuinness

One of the most haunting characters in Greek Tradegy, Electra is driven by an overwhelming desire to avenge her father's murder at the cost of her mother's life.

In his first American engagement since his Tony Award-winning production of O'Neil's Anna Christie, the acclaimed theater and opera director makes his McCarter theater debut with Sophocles's drama of obessive revenge.
