Reviews of the stage show
“The actors trust the story and the words, skillfully bringing out all the pathos and human drama..Hartle offers a splendid rainbow of reaction, from desperate begging to acceptance to noble idealism”
— Jon Sobel,
blogcritics
“[Edward Einhorn’s] treatment is a new standard text of language unadorned but not austere, the straightforward arguments of state and dialogues of moral dilemma almost entirely free of poetic ornament but elevated to distinguished oratory and elemental outcry by the external pressures and expressive necessities the characters face...an essentially flawless ensemble”
— Adam McGovern,

“Laura Hartle is luminous as Iphigenia, moving from buoyant innocence to strength with a quiet grace. Even more riveting is Ivanna Cullinan’s Klytemnestra, whose initial cool confidence crumbles into the tempestuous rage of a mother wronged.”
