A
great imperial power decides to go to war, taking an action so wrong that
it sets the empire on the road to complete self-destruction. Agamemnon,
the leader of the Greek army, must prove to his uncertain troops that the
dangerous battle they are about to undertake is righteous and worthy by
making the ultimate sacrifice himself. A radical reinvention of the classic
play by Euripides that examines the costs of war and loss of innocence.

Emily Kinney is performing in Signature
Theatre Company's of Charles Mee's Iphigenia 2.0, which began previews
last week.
On cast member Kate Mulgrew, who plays
Clytemnestra:
"I love watching her. She just takes control.
No time is ever wasted. Even if they're just running through a piece of
the play for technical reasons, she makes every time count. She really
puts herself in it every time. And she's not afraid to ask questions."
Salomon, Andrew. "Dogged, dog days, and
the lazy dog: our actors assign different roles to the slow month of August.(TAKE
5)." Back Stage East 48.33 (August 16, 2007)
