James Humphrey — Theater Critic

However, it’s still an intellectual wrestle as to why Electra and Persona have been brought together. Andrews seems to be probing at the emotional untangling in the female confrontation at each story’s heart. This reveals how rawness breaks to the surface after being buried by societal pressure, tragic loss, or dissatisfaction and how the two lead women struggle to cope with it. It is less a hammering than a haunting of the audience with this theme from one half to the other, but it’s frustratingly slippery to grasp – if indeed this is what the production is driving at. The overall experience of Electra/Persona is elusive, although the moments are delivered masterfully. It might just be worth seeing for the two lead actors at the height of their on-stage and – as this production surprisingly proves – on-screen powers.
