Ever present over his shoulder, the Chorus awaits Iphigenia's fate. The Iphigenia Quartet explores this domestic catastrophe from the perspective of each key player. Clytemnestra grapples with the ultimate betrayal, Iphigenia boldly accepts her fate, Agamemnon wrestles with an impossible choice, and the Chorus powerlessly observe, unable to look away."--Page 4 of cover.
