"The Sophoclean classic: When King Agamemnon returns from the Trojan War with his new concubine, Cassandra, his wife Clytemnestra (who has taken Agamemnons cousin Aegisthus as a lover) kills them.

"Locked into a bloody cycle of murder and reprisal, Electra, haunted by her father's assassination, is consumed by grief and a thirst for vengeance. When her brother Orestes at last returns, she urges him to a savage and terrifying conclusion. Frank McGuinness's charged adaptation of Sophocles' powerful tragedy was first performed at the Chichester Festival Theatre in 1997 and was revived at the Old Vic, London, in 2014."

The Irish Review No. 22 by Tom Dunne, FrankMcguinness Paperback, 184 Pages, Published 1998 by Cork University Press ISBN-13: 978-1-85918-190-4, ISBN: 1-85918-190-2
"If Brink's work represents the beginning of a backlash against Spenser and
Ireland, then the Irish University Review's special anniversary edition is an
appropriation of sorts. As the introduction explains, the journal's annual special

introduction works hard to extend this function to an 'unsetding' author, eventually
finding cause to celebrate the ..."
"Is generally regarded as one of the finest plays to have been written in 19th-century Russia. Contemporary critics viewed it either as showing the dark forces of conservatism or as the highest expression of love for the traditional life and character of the Russian middle class."
"Nora Helmer, wife to Torvald and mother of three children, appears to enjoy living the life of a pampered, indulged child. But as her economic dependence becomes brutally clear, Nora's acceptance of the status quo undergoes a profound change. To the horror of the bewildered Torvald, himself caught in the tight web of a conservative society which demands that he exert strict control, Nora comes to see that only possible true course of ac ..."

The first includes Indonesian-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second L ..."
