Playwright Ellen McLaughlin's play
Iphigenia and Other Daughters, an adaptation of several ancient Greek plays about the tragic lives of the children of
Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, premiered in the mid-'90s. But
looking at the production history, there's been a spike in productions in the last few years, mostly at colleges. Perhaps we've recently become more hungry for these stories of women who take revenge on those who've wronged them.
Theatre Unbound is bringing us the regional premiere of this modern retelling of an ancient women's story. In just a brisk 75 minutes, thanks to strong performances from the mostly female cast, we really get to know and empathize with these women.
