Elektra

In Sophocles' Elektra, in Anne Carson's translation and Daniel Fish's production at the Duke of York's Theatre in 2025, the titular heroine is left to live in the aftermath of her father Agamemnon's murder by her mother, Clytemnestra, and Clytemnestra's lover, Aegisthus. Consumed by grief, Elektra refuses to let the past be forgotten, holding fast to her demand for justice and revenge. Brie Larson plays the title role in this modern reinterpretation of the Greek tragedy.
