Electra’s daddy’s been killed. Her mummy’s f*cking the murderer. The smell of their sex is everywhere, corrupting her breath. At night she dreams of blades and flesh, but come dawn she’s like a little girl. Until something inside starts to change. Blood. Milk. Dirt. Soon there’s a man knocking at her door… In a post- Freudian world, revenge is a sexual awakening. Part of Terrible Edgar’s The Complex series, this daring new play drags Sophocles’ masterpiece kicking and screaming into the 21st century. If you thought you knew Electra, think again.
