    About this ebook

    When a young Electra’s father is murdered by her mother, her world changes irrevocably. Ten years on, bound by grief and unwilling to forgive, Electra surrenders to an all-consuming desire for revenge that propels her towards a bloody and terrifying conclusion. This is a haunting new version by Nick Payne of Sophocles’ tragic masterpiece, Electra.

    ‘Nick Payne’s urgent new version of Sophocles' Electra is another in a long line of boundary breaking offerings…. Payne [is] one of our brightest new playwrights… Electra-fying’ - The Evening Standard
