Frank McGuinness to participate in post-show talkback after 10 March 10AM Show

We are delighted to announce that playwright and adapter McGuinness will participate in a post-show talk with director Charlotte McIvor and production dramaturge, Dr. Anastasia Remoundou-Howley (also an NUI Galway alumnus) on the 10th March following the 10am performance. Speaking of his relationship to the play now, Frank McGuinness offered, “The part of Electra is the female Hamlet, calling a whole life into question, balancing pity and terror, a woman utterly exposed by her own terror.” It will be the first time that McGuinness’s adaptation of Electra has been produced in Ireland since 2002, when it had its Irish premiere with b*spoke theatre company in a production directed by McGuinness himself.
