Notes: | Original Playwright - Sophocles. Translated by Marianne McDonald and Michael Walton | |||||
Synopsis: | Vox Hellenic, the Sledgehammer-GrassRoots Greeks collaboration, concluded with a bang -- and and Electra shock. One of the best pairings of the series was Marianne McDonald's translation of Sophocles' "Electra," coupled with Luis Alfaro's Spanglish adaptation, "Electricidad." McDonald's translation was written in collaboration with J. Michael Walton , and it had her usual clarity coupled with more poetic lyricism. Lovely reading, especially strong in the performances of Anne Tran in the title role, a weepy, wailing affair, extremely well carried off; and Brennan Taylor as her peripatetic brother, Orestes; Lisel Gorel as her sister Chrysothemis. Alfaro spins it all on its head and turns it southward& with a charming and delightful bilingual adaptation that was neck-snapping in its pitch-perfect timing (especially given that the cast had only one rehearsal!). They were all nimble and convincing in this intriguing story of a Barrio family stuck in The Life. The father was brutally murdered, gangland style, arranged by his power-hungry wife, who wants to take over the family 'business.' April Doctolero was terrific as Electricidad, with strong performances put in by Rene Pena as her nasty, chain-smoking mother, Clemencia; Kim Miller compelling as born-again sister, Cristina; Juan Manzo potent as the Vegas-escapee, Orestes; and Raul Moncada unwavering as the familia's steadfast friend, Nino. Wonderful way to spend an afternoon. | |||||

Notes: | Original Playwright - Aeschylus. Translated by J Michael Walton and Marianne MacDonald. This is a new translation of Aeschylus' The Oresteia, commissioned by Nick Hern Books as an addition to the Greek tragedy section of Drama Classics', others of which include Sophocles' Antigone (tr. McDonald) and Electra (tr. McDonald and Walton), and Euripides' Andromache (tr. McDonald and Walton), Bacchae (tr. McLeish), Electra (tr. McDonald and Walton), Hecuba (tr. McDonald), Medea (tr. McLeish) and Women of Troy (tr. McLeish). | |||||
Synopsis: | The Oresteia is the only surviving trilogy from the classical repertoire. The first play, Agamemnon, deals with the return home from Troy to Argos of the victorious leader of the Greek army, only to meet his death at the hands of his wife, Clytemnestra. Choephori (Libation-Bearers), set several years later, describes the vengeance exacted by Agamemnon's exiled son, Orestes, on his mother and her lover, Aegisthus. In the third play, The Eumenides, (The Kindly Ones), Orestes, pursued by the Furies roused by his mother's ghost, stands trial for matricide in Athens at a newly-created court of justice and is acquitted by the casting vote of the goddess Athene. The thwarted Furies are persuaded to become benign deities and the rule of law supersedes the primitive rule of personal vendetta. | |||||
