Marina Carr: GIRL ON AN ALTAR

A play inspired by the ancient tale of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra

Carr’s adaptation emphasizes the emotional and psychological dimensions of the relationship between a man and a woman, while also exploring broader themes of power, sacrifice, and the brutal consequences of war. Although it is a stylized retelling, the play’s focus on human drama keeps it accessible to a contemporary audience.
