Carey Perloff to Direct LA's Getty Villa's ELEKTRA, 9/9-10/2
Carey Perloff, artistic director of San Francisco's American Conservatory Theater, will direct Los Angeles's Getty Villa's new production of Sophocles's ELEKTRA, the venue's offical website has announced. The production will run in an outdoor theater from September 9 through October 2 (Thursdays through Saturdays only) and will feature a new translation by English playwright Timberlake Wertenbaker. Previews, for which tickets will cost $20, will be held September 2 through 4. Tickets, which cost $42 ($38 for students), for the production are now on sale.
During the run of ELEKTRA, the Getty will be open special hours in order to allow playgoers to visit 'The Art of Ancient Greek Theater,' an exhibit presented in conjunction with the play. The exhibit is described by the Getty Villa as "the first exhibition in the United States in over 50 years to focus on the artistic representation of theatrical performance in ancient Greece."
