Only four more chances to see Electra!
The Seattle Shakespeare Company's take on the classic Greek play, Electra, is directed by the always
Seattle actress and writer Marya Sea Kaminsky steals the show with her moving (and rocking, roiling, spitting, moaning, shaking) portrayal of Electra, a woman imprisoned by her own mourning and hunger for vengeance.
