A review by sriq
An Oresteia by Euripides, Aeschylus, Sophocles
"Her name sounds like a negative adjective: 'alektra' in Greek means 'bedless, unwed, unmarriageable.' Her life is a stopped and stranded thing, just a glitch in other people's plans."
"Sophokles is a playwright fascinated in general by people who say no, people who resist compromise, people who make stumbling blocks of themselves, like Antigone or Ajax."
"Aiskhylos is dawnlike, with iconic ideas, images, and action emerging into the light of consciousness. Euripides presents a twilight where everything is susceptible to tricks of a fading light, where tonalities are hard to grasp, where one moment is an azure sunset, the next a starless night. Between them, Sophokles, under the glare of a noon sun that leaves nothing unexposed." [from Brian Kulick]
