Waiting for Orestes: Electra – Kings Theatre (EIF)

[written for WhatsOnStage.com]



In an unexpected move, I've written a review that is only 250 words long and includes a star-rating; as per house style. Mostly it shows that I'm a bit rusty at the old 250-words format, but hopefully it tells people something about the play. Also, it's good discipline. Will try to write more on the production if I ever have a minute. And, yes; I still dislike star-ratings intensely.
