This new translation of Sophokles' 2,500-year-old play - hailed as a masterpiece by the famous Roman writer Cicero - tells the story of a daughter haunted by her father's assassination.

She's both consumed by grief and spurred on by a thirst for vengeance, so when her long lost brother Orestes returns after years away, she urges him on to a savage conclusion... but at what cost?

With an all-star Hollywood cast

The stellar cast features two Hollywood actresses: the Oscar and BAFTA winning Brie Larson - best known as Captain Marvel in the Marvel movies - and Stockard Channing from TV's West Wing and Grease.
