Re: The play and the opera Mourning Becomes Electra

This is the video version I have referred to with Joan Hackett et al.  It is
available on video -- a net search should turn up more info.  It's terrific.

The trilogy as a whole is extremely powerful (with the ORESTEIA as a basis how
could it not be?) but O'Neill's dialogue can sometimes be prosaic and the whole
could certainly use a little pruning (as in the PBS video).  Lucky Londoners,
to get to see this play with the magnificent Helen Mirren, who I assume is
playing Christine?
