Contact: apgrd AT classics.ox.ac.uk July - August 2009 Celebrating its 11th season, Stanford Summer Theater (SST) presents 'The Electra Festival', an exploration through theater and film of one of the great mythic heroines. Electra’s story—the saga of the house of Atreus, the Trojan War, and its aftermath—has inspired playwrights, novelists, composers, film directors, and thinkers over the centuries. The Electra Festival allows us to trace the influence of this classic myth from ancient Athens to the contemporary world. The Electra Festival features a major production of Sophocles’ Electra, using MacArthur-Award winner Anne Carson’s masterful translation. Directed by SST Artistic Director Rush Rehm, Electra includes a stellar cast (L. Peter Callender, Kay Kostopoulos, Valentina Condé, Courtney Walsh, Florentina Mocanu), along with a formidable design team. The Electra Festival also includes staged readings of two earlier versions of the story, Aeschylus’ devastating Libation Bearers and Euripides’ strangely contemporary Electra. Using translations designed specifically for performance, these performances invite us into the wider world of fifth-century Athens and its fascination with revenge and justice in the aftermath of the Trojan War.
