THERE IS ALWAYS A COST
Electra is raging against a system that disenfranchises her gender, against a family that gaslights her pain, against gods that play loud favorites and seem to have forgotten her. In the wake of a world-changing war, in halls haunted by the ghosts of her murdered family members, she concocts a plan…to wait for someone else to act. Is revenge the same as justice?
❋ Run-time: Approximately 2 hours & 15 minutes including intermission
