Stratford's Elektra is Stunning

Elektra mourns the death of her father Agamemnon, whose death has left her in the hands of her loathed mother Clytemnestra. Having alienated her sister and unwilling to live under the same roof as the woman who killed her father, Elektra has little to do save suffer the pain of Agamemnon's death and await the vengeance that comes with the arrival of her brother Orestes.

I saw Elektra by Sophokles at the Tom Patterson Theatre on Thursday, prior to last night's opening. It was, I am happy to report, a spectacular effort, with a solid cast and confident direction.
