Elektra
A theatrical spectacle with Elektra play tickets
The gripping theatrical spectacle, Elektra, is the revival of the year as it heads to the Duke of York’s theatre this winter. The ancient Greek tragedy is set to be nothing short of electrifying, with Academy Award-winner, Brie Larson (Captain Marvel, Room) making her West End debut. We’re expecting this production to be popular, so grab your tickets now to avoid disappointment.
In the Elektra play, vengeance is the dish of the day. This ancient Greek tragedy revolves around Elektra, who is consumed by grief and fury following her father Agamemnon’s brutal murder at the hands of her mother, Clytemnestra, and her mother’s lover, Aegisthus. Seething with anger and obsessed with the idea of revenge, Elektra longs for the return of her brother, Orestes, so together they can bring their murderous mother to justice. Expect high-stakes family drama, shocking twists, and enough tension to cut with a knife – think Succession, but with Greek gods keeping score.
Headlining the cast is none other than Brie Larson, known for her Oscar-winning performance in Room and her role as Captain Marvel in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In Elektra, Larson will step into the shoes of the embittered, vengeful heroine, bringing her powerhouse acting skills to one of Greek theatre’s most complex characters. With Larson at the helm, this production is set to deliver an unforgettable portrayal of Elektra’s fierce pursuit of justice.
The production will be directed by Daniel Fish (Oklahoma!), a visionary, award-winning director renowned for pushing the boundaries of traditional theatre. With past productions that have swept up accolades on both sides of the Atlantic, expect a modern, hard-hitting reimagining of Elektra. This talented creative team promises to deliver a fresh yet faithful take on the classic, fusing raw emotion with innovative staging. The result? A Greek tragedy that feels as relevant and cutting-edge as ever.
Elektra play at the Duke of York’s Theatre is set to be one of the most talked-about revivals of 2025. With Brie Larson leading the charge, this production promises to bring fire and fury to the West End stage.
