Cast | Production Staff | Production Crew | Program Copy
In 1949, while under indictment for treason and hospitalized by court order at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Washington, D.C., Ezra Pound collaborated with Professor Rudd Fleming on a new version of Sophokles’ Elektra. Pound’s decision to focus on this play of imprisonment and justice at such a crucial time in his life throws both the play and the poet into stark and ironic relief. Rediscovered and finally produced to great acclaim in 1987 by New York’s Classic Stage Company, the Pound/Fleming translation of Elektra has been called “energetic, slightly outrageous, and very American.”
