THE CUCK

“An extraordinary outdoor production…directed with penetrating insight…the entire cast was pitch perfect.”
-Brian Sands, Ambush Magazine

“An irreverent and really funny look at the classic Greek tragedy.”
-Alan Smason, WYES-TV

“A heinous act of disrespect to a working class audience.”
-Holly Devon, Antigravity Magazine

The Cuck is Euripides’s Electra, but about partying, class, and privilege. In this modern retelling, Electra and her brother Orestes, deprived of their royal birthright, plot deadly revenge against their mother and stepfather to reclaim what’s rightfully theirs while the Argos Music Festival is underway. This outdoor production is the premiere of the newest play by Sam Mayer, who wrote Chet’s Summer Vacation.
