Eryn Murman Stars In IPHIGENIA At Factory Theatre 8/5-15

The Toronto based SummerWorks presents IPHIGENIA starring Eryn Murman beginning August 5 and playing through the 15th at the Factory Theatre.

Directing the production will be Alan Dilworth. The cast will also feature Stephen Bogaert, Sarah Orenstein, David Fox, Eric Goulem, Stephen Gartner, Neema Bickersteth, Browyn Claudle and Sarena Parmar.

The play revolves around Agamemnon, the leader of the Greek coalition before and during the Trojan War, and his decision to sacrifice his daughter, Iphigenia to appease the goddess Artemis, and allow his troops to set sail to preserve their honour in battle against Troy.

The conflict between Agamemnon and Achilles over the fate of the young woman presages a similar conflict between the two at the beginning of the Iliad. In his depiction of the experiences of the main characters, Euripides frequently uses tragic irony for dramatic effect.

Murman understudied the roles of Wendela and Ilsa in the Broadway production of SPRING AWAKENING. Murman has also participated in many concerts including '100 Years Of Broadway.'

Established in 1970 by current and founding Artistic Director Ken Gass, Factory Theatre was the first company in the nation to devote itself exclusively to producing Canadian plays.
