The New York Times just published a review of this play [here](http://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/07/theater/reviews/07TROJ.html?8hpib). (Link requires free NY Times log-in). It sounds like a powerful and moving performance. Possibly the best modern adaptation of a classic Greek drama. Has anyone seen this and have any comments?

PS – I don’t think there has been a thread on this play. The closest I can find is [this recent post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=4479965&postcount=41).
