Proclaiming justice, Clytemnestra and her lover Aegisthus murdered her husband, Agamemnon, after his triumphant return from the Trojan War. Now, many long, quiet years have passed and she cannot anticipate the judgments that will soon arrive in Argos. Her vengeful daughter Electra and son Orestes reunite and scheme to confront their mother—upholding the House of Atreus’ eternal mission to balance the scales, they seek to reclaim their father’s throne.
Translated by renowned scholar and Founding Artistic Director Nicholas Rudall at Court Theatre, Electra presents the third and final tragic chapter of Court’s groundbreaking Greek Cycle.
