Daly Goes Greek

Tony- and Emmy-winning actor Tyne Daly (pictured), noted for her work on stage (Gypsy, Rabbit Hole) and television (Judging Amy), has been cast as the betrayed wife Clytemnestra in the outdoor staging at the Getty Villa of Aeschylus’ Greek tragedy Agamemnon, playing Sep. 4-27.

Joining her in the production as the war-mongering King Agamemnon, husband of Clytemnestra, is Tony and Drama Desk nominee Delroy Lindo (The Cider House Rules). Stephen Wadsworth directs the classic play, in a new translation by Robert Fagles, who died earlier this year.
