Electra America at Yale Repertory Theatre

Electra America, written by Kate Attwell and directed by Sivan Battat, is a world premiere commission from Yale Repertory Theatre that weaves ancient drama and the violence of contemporary life. The play reconsiders Greek tragedy in the context of religious zealotry, drawing on the tradition of classic theater while engaging with the urgent tensions of the present. Attwell's previous work, Big Data, earned widespread critical acclaim, and this new play positions her as a bold voice in contemporary playwriting.
