ELECTRA after Sophocles | March to April 2027
The King Black Box, with generous support from Koffler Arts

​

A daughter can’t stop grieving in a house that has already moved on.

​

Electra has spent years refusing to forgive her father’s murder, or the mother she believes was behind it. Trapped between a sister who chose survival and a brother who may never come home, she is the one person in the family still keeping score, and the pressure of that vigil is about to break the house open.

​

Sophocles, pulled into present-day Toronto, where grief becomes identity.

 

Conceived and developed by SOPHIE ANN ROONEY | Written and adapted by MICHAEL GOLDLIST
