Electra archiveAn empire crumbling. Betrayal. Murder. Vengeance. Electra is a darkly psychological study of a woman s obsession with her murdered father and her quest for retribution. When her brother unexpectedly returns from exile, the stage is set for Electra s endgame. But vengeance has its price. For how can there be closure if, to avenge your father s death, you must first kill your mother?
