THE HOUSE OF CLYTEMNESTRA Comes to 2024 New York City Fringe Festival

The House of Clytemnestra, written and directed by Zoe Bloomfield, will be presented as part of the 2024 New York City Fringe Festival with FRIGID New York at The Wild Project (195 E 3rd St, New York, NY 10009) with performances on Fri 4/5 at 7:40pm, Mon 4/8 at 6pm, Sat 3/13 at 2:10pm & Tue 4/16 at 7:40pm. Tickets ($20) are available for advance purchase at www.frigid.nyc. The performance will run approximately 90 minutes.

The Trojan War has finally ended, but the battle isn't over for Queen Clytemnestra. Years after the sacrifice of her young daughter, it's time to face her grief, her ghosts, and her husband. Her other daughter Electra…is also there. An award-winning play for a work in heightened language, using classical and modern text, The House of Clytemnestra highlights our daily performances and the roles women must play with humor and heartbreak; showing our love and masking our grief, or is it the other way around? Either way, the House always wins.

The cast will feature Alexander Bourne, Baldur Dagbjartsson, Danica Jensen, Julianna Mitchell, Lindsey Newton, Zachary Papatheodorou, and Thea Throndson.
