"This is a knot no one can untie”.
Electra, haunted by her father's assassination, is consumed by grief; a need for survival; and a thirst for vengeance. When her long lost brother Orestes at last returns, she urges him to a savage and terrifying conclusion but at what cost?
Starring Brie Larson (Room, Lessons in Chemistry, Captain Marvel),Daniel Fish (Oklahoma) directs the first major revival in over a decade of Sophocles’ electrifying and timeless play, ELEKTRA, in a stunning translation by award winning poet Anne Carson, at the intimate Duke of York’s Theatre for a strictly limited and unmissable season.
