Synopsis
Euripides' story of a father moved to murder his daughter is one that has been reinvented and retold anew throughout history. The Iphigenia Quartet includes four responses to this classical tragedy—each play a reimagining of this story of familial catastrophe from the differing perspectives of the key characters in the drama: Agamemnon, Clytemnestra, Iphigenia, and the Chorus.
