Iphigenia and Other Daughters at Coastal Carolina University - Edwards Black Box Theatre

A daughter drowned, a son banished, a child forgotten and left to die: Ellen McLaughlin’s Iphigenia and Other Daughters blends Iphigenia in Aulis, Electra, and Iphigenia in Tauris into a poetic and gripping translation and adaptation of an ancient story. Probing its audience to contemplate harrowing questions in a searing and tangible world, the text crystallizes the female voice in Greek tragedy. From multiple levels of reality, in life and death, Orestes, Electra, and Iphigenia must navigate the plague that hangs over their family.
