Elektra

Polonsky Shakespeare Center

Opens Nov 20, 2026 · Closes Dec 6, 2026

In the aftermath of the Trojan War, Elektra waits outside the palace of Mycenae, consumed by grief and rage over the murder of her father Agamemnon by her mother Clytemnestra and her lover Aegisthus. When news arrives that her exiled brother Orestes has died, she resolves to carry out vengeance herself—until a stranger's arrival reveals the report to be false, setting in motion a long-awaited reckoning. This Theatre for a New Audience production stages Sophocles' tragedy of inherited violence, mourning, and the cost of justice.
