Department of Theatre Arts - "Electra" by Sophocles. English adaptation by Frank McGuinness; directed by Steven Marc Weiss; Thurs.-Sat. performances at 8 p.m., Sun. performance at 2 p.m., Dows Theatre. A story as old as time and as shocking as today's headlines, Sophocles' "Electra" is a larger-than-life tragedy of family betrayal, cold-blooded murder, civil war, and political intrigue. In Frank McGuinness' terse, tense, and vibrant English adaptation, this ancient Greek revenge play exposes the pain of emotional loss and crippling, obsessive sorrow. Talkbacks with the directors and casts will be held after performances on Thursdays and Sundays. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for students age 18 and younger and senior citizens age 55 and over.
