Court's Founding Artistic Director and renowned translator, Nicholas Rudall, reflects on Court's 3-year cycle of Greek plays—Iphigenia in Aulis, Agamamemnon, and Electra.

This year in Electra, we see many returning faces from Agamemnon and Iphigenia in Aulis, but we are also introduced to a few new faces that leave a lasting impression. Kate Fry (Electra) joins Sandra Marquez (Clytemnestra) in the final tragic chapter in Court Theatre’s Greek Cycle.
