Limited Engagement O'NEILL'S MOURNING BECOMES ELECTRA

FROM THE NEW GROUP:

A rarely mounted production of Eugene O'Neill's great triology:

MOURNING BECOMES ELECTRA

Directed by Scott Elliott.
  • Lili Taylor (Aunt Dan and Lemon, Six Feet Under),
  • Jena Malone (Doubt, Saved!) and
  • Joseph Cross (Milk, Running with Scissors)

...portray the toxic mother/daughter/son triangle in the revival of the Eugene O'Neill's masterpiece.


At the end of the Civil War, General Mannon's wife and daughter await his return with very different agendas. When battle-scarred son Orin arrives, he finds his house divided.


In this sizzling re-imagining of The Oresteia, three plays combine to create an epic 4-hour journey.


A classic tragedy of Freudian proportions, MOURNING BECOMES ELECTRA is a tale of adultery, obsession and madness.
