I loved this play so much! Saw it on Tuesday and seeing it again Sunday for the last show. See it before it inevitably sells out!

All the little details like the Greek scream that Electra does, the rocking back on her heels in rhythm when she prays to the cruel, capricious Gods that wreck her family, the amazing costumes...all these details help to situate it as an ancient cultural story, even as the characters feel so real and their motives understand. The clown aspect is also really cool--apparently the actors are primarily clowns who incorporate it into their work without overloading it.
