Principal and ensemble casting has been announced for Elektra at the Duke of York’s Theatre in London starring Brie Larson.
Oscar-winner Brie Larson (Room, Lessons in Chemistry, Captain Marvel) is making her West End debut as Elektra in the new production this January.
Brie Larson is joined by Stockard Channing (The West Wing, The Good Wife, Grease) as Clytemnestra, Marième Diouf (Romeo and Juliet, The Globe) as Chrysothemis, Greg Hicks (Grapes of Wrath, National Theatre; Coriolanus, The Old Vic) as Aegisthus, and Patrick Vaill (Stranger Things: The First Shadow, Oklahoma!) as Orestes.
The Chorus of the show features Hannah Bristow, Wallis Currie-Wood, Jo Goldsmith-Eteson, Nardia Ruth, Rebecca Thorn, and Adeola Yemitan; and the understudy is Arthur Boan.
This UK premiere production of Sophocles’ electrifying play, translated by the award-winning poet Anne Carson, is coming to the West End’s Duke of York’s Theatre for a limited 11 week season from 24 January to 12 April 2025.
The production also has a pre-West End tryout at the Theatre Royal Brighton from 13 to 18 January 2025.
Elektra is directed by Daniel Fish, who directed the recent Tony and Olivier Award-winning revival of Oklahoma! on Broadway and in the West End.
Joining him in the creative team are: Choreography by Annie-B Parson; Set Design by Jeremy Herbert; Costume Design by Doey Lüthi; Lighting Design by Adam Silverman; Sound Design by Max & Ben Ringham; Composer Ted Hearne; Casting by Heather Basten CDG; Voice & Dialect Kate Godfrey; and Costume Supervisor Deborah Andrews.
Elektra is produced by Empire Street Productions, who recently produced Slave Play at the Noël Coward Theatre starring Kit Harington and Olivia Washington. They also produced Prima Facie starring Jodie Comer, and The Pillowman starring Lily Allen and Steve Pemberton.
Elektra is playing at the Duke of York’s Theatre from Friday 24 January to Saturday 12 April 2025.
