View all →About This Event
On 31 August 2026 at London's National Theatre, Cate Blanchett presents *Electra/Persona*, a formidable production where ancient myth converges with modern psychology to reveal the harrowing complexities of female identity. By fusing Sophocles's tragedy with Ingmar Bergman's film script, the show constructs a dramatic landscape where silence becomes as potent as speech during moments of intense psychological fracture. The Lyttelton will host this intellectually rigorous exploration as Blanchett navigates the fractured psyche of her protagonist against a backdrop of existential inquiry. Tickets are available from £98.00 for this forthcoming performance that promises to challenge audiences with its unflinching examination of truth and illusion.
