*Elektra* is a play by Sophocles that was likely written sometime between 420 BC and 414 BC, as it has similarities with *Philoctetes* (409 BC) and *Oedipus at Colonus* (406 BC). This new translation is by award-winning poet Anne Carson, who also translated Sophocles' *Antigone*. Carson has published over twenty books, and among the many awards she's earned include the T.S. Elliot Prize, the Governor General's Award for English-language poetry, and the Lannan Literary Award. 

*Elektra* in London boasts an exceptional creative team led by director Daniel Fish (*Oklahoma!*). Annie-B Parson (*Here Lies Love*) is the choreographer, Jeremy Herbert (*Hamlet*) is the scenic designer, Adam Silverman (*The Glass Menagerie*) is the lighting designer, Doey Lüthi (*over and over vorbeinicht vorbei*) is the costume designer, Max and Ben Ringham (*A Doll's House*) are the sound designers, and music is by Ted Hearne (*Place*). 

"I couldn't be more excited to perform in this Greek drama, or in better company collaborating with Daniel Fish and Anne Carson," Brie Larson said in a statement. "Storytelling has always been the way I organize life, feelings, and experiences. I look forward to sharing space with the wonderful West End audience while we explore this timeless story." 

## What to watch for

- Tales of Orestes' revenge were very popular in Greek tragedies; in fact, Euripides also wrote a play called *Electra*. 
- Some of the events of *Elektra* were also referenced in Homer's *Odyssey*. 
- Anne Carson has received both the MacArthur 'Genius' Grant and the Guggenheim Fellowship. 
- Max and Ben Ringham were nominated for an Olivier Award in 2023 for their work on *Prima Facie*.
