Electra: daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, flees her home after the brutal revenge murder of her father on his return from the Trojan War.
Life outside is frightening; and the scandalous behaviour of her foreign companions - the Trojan Cassandra, and her two lovers - disturbs her, but she needs their help to survive.
Driven by her own desire for vengeance, Electra's life becomes one of adventure, peril, pleasure, tragedy and love.
