Larson said: “I couldn’t be more excited to perform in this Greek drama, or in better company collaborating with Daniel Fish and Anne Carson. 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.”
The new production will be helmed by director Daniel Fish (Oklahoma) and has been translated by award-winning poet Anne Carson.
The plot reads: “Elektra, haunted by her father’s assassination, is consumed by grief; a need for survival; and a thirst for vengeance. When her long lost brother Orestes at last returns, she urges him to a savage and terrifying conclusion but at what cost?”.
It will mark the first major revival of Sophokles’s Greek tragedy in over a decade and is produced by Empire Street Productions, who most recently produced Slave Play at The Noël Coward Theatre.
