Electra by SOPHOCLES (496-406 BC) translated by E. F. WATLING
Music specially composed by CHRISTOS PITTAS with Sarah Badel
Barbara Jefford , Anna Cropper Peter Marinker and John Turner
Imagine what it means to see, day after day,
Aegisthus sitting in my father's chair, wearing
The clothes he wore, pouring the same libations
At the attar where he killed him: and, last outrage
The murderer going to his bed with her -
Must I still call her motherf - with his mistress.
The singers: ROSEMARY HARDY LINDA HURST , SUZANNE FLOWERS The musicians: ANNE COLLIS JOHN LEACH and JUDITH PEARCE
Produced and directed by MARTIN JENKINS
