Ancient Greece was far away and long ago, but it will be up close and personal in UPEI’s Faculty Lounge this Spring. Vagabond Productions will be staging the Greek tragedy of Electra by Euripides. Director Greg Doran’s vision is to bring Electra into the 21st century by putting a modern political spin on things. “At its heart, Electra can be read as a play about the financial dispossession of two characters, Orestes and Electra. I saw it as an opportunity to highlight current economic and political divisions in society. I feel the play offers an interesting insight for today’s society.” Electra is its tenth show. The show runs March 18 to March 22 in The Faculty Lounge, in the Main Building. The doors will open at 7 pm for a 7:30 pm start. Admission is pay-what-you-can and seating is limited, so make sure to show up early. For more information, you can contact the Theatre Studies Program at 566-6013 or Dr. Greg Doran at gdoran@upei.ca.
