Electra and Orestes both know their mother and her lover killed their father, Agememnon, but since they were children at the time, they could do nothing about it. Orestes leaves home and Electra stays, burning for the day she can avenge Agememnon's death, the day her brother returns.

"The conceptual unity of Lara Tibble's 90-minute adaptation of Sophocles' tale of filial devotion [is] spellbinding."
--Mary Shen Barnidge, Chicago Reader
