After Electra - One4Review

While I’d be the first to admit that I am no expert on Eugene O’Neill or his writing, hence did not know the original piece Mourning becomes Electra, I must say that this adaptation left me totally confused. From the outset with the film projected onto the back wall confused me and once the three actors commenced with the live action the situation became even less clear. The actors, Catherine Smith, Peter Snee and Stephanie Mott seemed to either be whispering, or screaming at each other, often at the same time, so as a lot of the complicated dialogue was lost, this didn’t assist in my comprehension of the plot. The show was timed for an hour, lasted 45 minutes but even that was far too long for me I’m afraid. *
