I have just finished reading Sarah Kane's version. I had been tipped off that it was going to be pretty ark but had not anticipated the gore at the end. I have read that with Greek plays, most of the action happens off stage and for Kane to experiment with putting it ON the stage it doesn't surprise me..
I will now need to read Seneca's original version of the play and compare them before starting research into Kane herself, her influences and previous plays, character breakdowns, the action itself.
