Overview

Three famous tragedies from the ancient Greek - Hecuba by Euripides, Agamemnon by Aeschylus, and Elektra by Sophocles.

Chronologically connected, they may be performed as individual plays. Each has been abridged to about half-hour length and written in modern English verse that is intended to be spoken and readily comprehensible. These are both powerful and playable adaptations.

All necessary music materials can be found at the back of the acting edition.
