• Mourning Becomes Electra is a trilogy that reimagines the ancient Greek Oresteia in a post-Civil War American setting, delving into themes of family, revenge, and fate.

• A Moon for the Misbegotten is a poignant drama about loneliness and redemption, centered around the relationship between a faded actor and a strong-willed woman.
