Greek to Her: Victoria Clark Will Be Clytemnestra in Mee's 'Iphigenia 2.0'

Yahoo! News: "The Off-Broadway staging, directed by Tina Landau for a run Aug. 7-Sept. 20, kicks off Signature's season of works by playwright-in-residence Mee.

Told by a cast of 12, 'Iphigenia 2.0 is about a great imperial power that decides to go to war, taking an action so wrong that it sets the empire on the road to complete self-destruction,' according to Signature. 'Agamemnon, the leader of the Greek army, must prove to his uncertain troops that the dangerous battle they are about to undertake is righteous and worthy by making the ultimate sacrifice himself. A radical reinvention of the classic play by Euripides that examines the costs of war and loss of innocence.'"
