Elektra

Thanks to the Stratford Festival, I am developing a passion for Greek tragedy. This production of Elektra, starring Yanna MacIntosh in the title role and Seana McKenna as Clytemnestra, definitely added to my enthusiasm.
The director of this production, Thomas Moschopolous, is Greek and clearly brought a contemporary Greek sensibility to the production. The staging was excellent, particularly for someone who had never worked on the Paterson stage before. The chorus was brilliant, moving around the space, taking turns with the lines and engaging the audience.
Hearing the two leading actors discuss the production at a Meet the Festival a week later pointed out how much I had missed. I think I need to see it again.
