[Crash Solo · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a fantastic take on Electra, with intense, visceral, image laden speeches. I Love Hugo von Hoffmannsthal already, though I always wonder about translations and how close they are to the original choices and spirit of the work. Whatever the case, this is a good one. I’d be tempted to produce it if I could find the right Electra.
