Following his triumphs during the Trojan War, the great Greek warrior Agamemnon is slaughtered by his crafty wife, Clytemnestra, and her lover, Aegisthus. Many years later, his surviving children, Orestes and Electra, live far from the royal halls that are rightfully theirs and have long been separated: Orestes has escaped and lives in exile, while Electra languishes in an arranged marriage to a peasant. Upon reuniting, the brother and sister face each other for the first time as adults. They decide to execute a plan that will demonstrate to Clytemnestra and Aegisthus that the example set for them as children was not forgotten. This English adaptation of Euripides' classic play is written in rhymed verse to create a close approximation of the rhythms and poetry of the original Greek text.
