Court's Founding Artistic Director and renowned translator, Nicholas Rudall, reflects on Court's 3-year cycle of Greek plays—Iphigenia in Aulis, Agamamemnon, and Electra.
Jacqueline's creations for Iphigenia in Aulis, Agamemnon and now Electra tell a powerful story of their own, tracing the narrative arc of tragedy through subtle changes in fabric, color, draping and visual concept.
This year in Electra, we see many returning faces from Agamemnon and Iphigenia in Aulis, but we are also introduced to a few new faces that leave a lasting impression. Kate Fry (Electra) joins Sandra Marquez (Clytemnestra) in the final tragic chapter in Court Theatre’s Greek Cycle.

Court Theatre is fortunate to have the loyal and generous support of Kevin Hochberg and James McDaniel. Kevin and Jim are long-time supporters of Court through donations, ticket purchases, and Kevin’s leadership on the Court Theatre Board of Trustees since 2001. Not only are Kevin and Jim contributing to Court’s success today, but they are also instrumental in securing Court’s continued success by including the theatre in their estate plan.
