Electra, Paperback / softback Book

Electra Paperback / softback

Edited by Nicholas Rudall

Part of the Plays for Performance Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

Sophocles' classic drama of a daughter's revenge of her father's murder has been translated into playable language for modern audiences.

As an example of Sophoclean tragedy, with its fatalistic acceptance of human doom, Electra is unsurpassed.

It is, in addition, a potent metaphor for the current disintegration of some European nations.
