There is something bad here, growing. Day and night I watch it. Growing.

Elektra, haunted by her father's assassination, is consumed by grief; a need for survival; and a thirst for vengeance. When her long lost brother Orestes at last returns, she urges him to a savage and terrifying conclusion but at what cost?

Starring Brie Larson (Room, Lessons in Chemistry, Captain Marvel), Daniel Fish (Oklahoma) directs the first major revival in over a decade of Sophocles’ electrifying and timeless play, ELEKTRA , in a stunning translation by award winning poet Anne Carson, at the intimate Duke Of York’s Theatre for a strictly limited and unmissable season.
