'The Marvels' star returns to the theater after years of starring in major film roles.
The show's synopsis, according to the play’s website, reads: “Elektra, haunted by her father's assassination, is consumed by grief; a need for survival; and a thirst for vengeance. When her long lost brother Orestes at last returns, she urges him to a savage and terrifying conclusion but at what cost?”
In a recent press release, Larson shared her enthusiasm about the role.
"I couldn’t be more excited to perform in this Greek drama, or in better company collaborating with Daniel Fish and Anne Carson. Storytelling has always been the way I organize life, feelings, and experiences. I look forward to sharing space with the wonderful West End audience while we explore this timeless story," Larson expressed, referring to the director and poet who adapted the story from the ancient Greek dramatist Sophocles.
'Elektra' is set to run in January 2025.
While the actress is known for her big screen roles in Captain Marvel, Room and Lessons in Chemistry, this isn’t Larson's first time on the theater stage.
In 2010, Larson portrayed Emily in Our Town at the renowned Williamstown Theatre Festival. While she hasn’t appeared on stage frequently in recent years, Larson began her acting journey at just six years old at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, making her the youngest participant in the theater's history.
