Elektra – A Throne Restored 

A bold and contemporary reimagining of the classic Greek tragedy, Elektra – A Throne Restored brings new depth to the timeless tale of power, justice, and vengeance. Written and directed by Ines Neacsa, this production follows Elektra, a woman determined to reclaim the throne of Mycenae after her father’s brutal murder. As she fights for justice, she must navigate political divisions, generational conflict, and the personal sacrifices that come with her quest. 

This adaptation delves into the complexities of power and morality, examining how ancient struggles for justice continue to resonate in the modern world. Whether an experienced theatre enthusiast or a newcomer to Greek tragedy, audiences will find themselves immersed in a thought-provoking exploration of fate, duty, and the cost of change. 

Particularly relevant for students of Greek tragedy, ethics, or political philosophy, the play offers a compelling opportunity to engage with classical themes that remain deeply influential today.
