IPHIGENIA AND OTHER DAUGHTERS by Ellen McLaughlin
featuring Olga Garcia, Juliet Lopez, Nicole Mack, Samara Neely-Cohen, Caitlin Newman, Anna O’Donoghue*, Therese Olson, Kieran Sequoia, Scott Thomas*, Natasha Warner and Penny Lynn White*
bombs drop…and teacups shiver McLaughlin wrote this retelling of the Oresteia in 1995 in response to the first Iraq War. It is the heart-wrenching story of a young soldier returning home to his family – a “world of women.” At once modern and timeless, beautiful and peculiar, this play challenges us to confront the horror of war and to embrace the healing power of love.
