Electra's father, brother and sister are all dead or missing, and her beloved mother is inert with grief. A familiar stranger opens her eyes to the truth behind her family's past, forcing Electra to come face to face with her parents' hideous flaws and driving her to an unthinkable act. With a chain of reprisals to resolve, justice can no longer be found within a family's feud. A fledgling society in a delicate democracy is tasked with finding righteousness in the tangle of criminal acts, questioning whether one life can ever be weighed against another. This Restless House, based on the epic Greek trilogy The Oresteia, is an exhilarating theatrical event and accessible new way to delve into an ancient drama that has survived two and a half thousand years.The Bough Breaks/Electra and Her Shadow - T1615721169Parts 2 & 3 of Zinnie Harris' adaptation of the Greek tragedy The OresteiaProducer Citizens Theatre.
