Hartigan, Michael Cacoyannis and Jennifer March. Respondents

Sophocles' Electra features the world premiere of Anne Carson's
new translation, with a cast including Kimberly Williams
(Father of the Bride).

This event is supported by a major grant from the Illinois
Humanities Council.

Program begins with a reception on Thursday, May 27 at 5 pm
