Story for Mourning Becomes Electra
Lili Taylor (Aunt Dan and Lemon, Say Anything, "Six Feet Under"), Jena Malone (Doubt, Saved!) and Joseph Cross (Milk, Running with Scissors) portray the toxic mother/daughter/son triangle in the revival of Eugene O’Neill’s masterpiece. In this sizzling re-imagining of The Oresteia, three plays combine to create an epic 4-hour journey. At the end of the Civil War, General Mannon's wife and daughter await his return with very different agendas. When battle-scarred son Orin arrives, he finds his house divided.
A classic tragedy of Freudian proportions, Mourning Becomes Electra is a tale of adultery, obsession and madness. Three taut plays combine to create one epic theatrical journey as O'Neill's sizzling re-imagining of 'The Oresteia' brings the intense familial conflicts of this classic story to a tightly wound New England town. At the end of the Civil War, General Mannon's wife and daughter await his return with very different agendas. When his battle-scarred son Orin finally arrives, he finds a house divided and a tragedy in the making.
