Marina Carr: GIRL AT THE ALTAR

Marina Carr's play is inspired by the ancient story of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra. Carr's adaptation emphasizes the emotional and psychological aspects of the relationship between a man and a woman, while also exploring broader themes of power, sacrifice, and the brutal consequences of war. Although a stylized retelling, the play's focus on human drama makes it accessible to modern audiences.
