Elektra Reviews

Chicago Reader - Recommended

"...It’s not hard to see echoes of Pound the prisoner in Elizabeth Hope Nahulak’s Elektra. Dressed in filthy rags, sleeping next to a bucket on a concrete slab with only a thin blanket to protect her from the elements, Elektra refuses to be in the same house as Klytemnestra. Her other surviving sister, Chrysothemis (CC Meade), has seemingly made her peace with their father’s slaying, and her chic dresses and heels form a sharp contrast to her tortured sibling. (Cindy Moon designed the modern-dress costumes.) Thus does Pound set up the outsider/revolutionary, and the insider/capitulator—types that conveniently work across a range of political ideologies."
