Mourning Becomes Electra

Toneelgroep Amsterdam presents Rouw Siert Electra (Mourning Becomes Electra), directed by Ivo van Hove with the original Dutch cast. Eugene O’Neill’s play is ppresented in Dutch with English supertitles.

Based on Aeschylus’s Orestean trilogy, O’Neill’s Mourning Becomes Electra is an American family tragedy set on the Mannon family estate. Radiating an electrifying intensity, the Toneelgroep’s production uses multi-media to create a once-in-a-lifetime “intelligent and seizing experience” (Provincial Dagbladen).
