Ancient Greece was far away and long ago, but it will be up close and personal in UPEI鈥檚 Faculty Lounge this Spring. Vagabond Productions will be staging the Greek tragedy of Electra by Euripides. Director Greg Doran鈥檚 vision is to bring Electra into the 21st century by putting a modern political spin on things. 鈥淎t its heart, Electra can be read as a play about the financial dispossession of two characters, Orestes and Electra. I saw it as an opportunity to highlight current economic and political divisions in society. I feel the play offers an interesting insight for today鈥檚 society.鈥� Electra is its tenth show.
