I went to see it because I doubted that a Greek tragedy could work with a modern audience. It was extraordinary! At the final black out, the audience was so horrified that no one knew when to clap for the mesmerizing performances. The silence before the first clap was deafening! It was an unforgettable theatrical experience for me.

Lucky enough to have seen both Fiona shaw and helen mccrory in this role. Both were excellent but this was the gold standard for me.

RIP Ms McCrory, an actress I wish I'd seen much more. But I plan to.
