Electra

A story as old as time and as shocking as today’s headlines. Following the murder of her father at the hands of her mother, Electra lives in exile gripped by a furious desire to avenge his death. When her brother Orestes returns to claim the throne as its rightful heir, a tragedy of sacrifice, betrayal, and assassination ignites the stage in this action-packed re-telling of Sophocles' ancient Greek drama. As Electra’s rage explodes without mercy, we are propelled to the play’s bitter and bloody conclusion. The New York Times calls Frank McGuinness’ Electra “soul-satisfying drama at its most passionately, intensely alive.” Directed by Father David Cregan, OSA. Tuesday-Saturday performances at 8pm and Sundays at 2pm.
