Elektra, Sophokles' powerful tale of religion, justice, revenge, and the struggle between blood and law, was given fresh life by the controversial poet Ezra Pound in the aftermath of World War II. This rarely seen American version of the Greek Tragedy challenges us to ask hard questions about our families, our society, and ourselves.
