“You can tell Bettie what I said about Bonnie, and Bunnie what I said about Bettie, but don’t tell Bonnie about Bunnie or Bettie, unless Bunnie first tells Bonnie about Bettie; and certainly don’t tell Bunnie about Bonnie, or Bettie about Bunnie, promise?”

“Electra” is about a young woman who mourns—and ultimately avenges with the help of her brother Orestes—her father Agamemnon’s murder.

This show explores the theme of the psychological costs of resisting evil in a society bent on ignoring or even sustaining that evil.

Written in blank verse, the language is conversational despite its formality. While passing for “normal” speech, the verse provides a powerful tool for actors to convey powerful emotions.

Six ghost hunters spend the night in an old farmhouse in an attempt to contact the spirit of murdered Vinney Keller. But for some of the hunters, truth about the murder is secondary to hyping their results for TV. Soon the hunters find themselves mired in miscommunication between the living and the dead, the literal ghosts of the past who are determined to set the story straight.

Greeting him is a golden-cladded warrior claiming that he and his Viking-like associates knew and fought alongside the deceased Stanley (the goldfish). With his living room now invaded by these unusual warriors demanding to have the funeral in his house, Thomas must make them leave before Lewis and his mother come home.
