Electra is a play by Rajiva Wijesinha. It is based on the Oresteia by Aeschylus, Electra by Sophocles, Electra by Euripides and The Flies by Jean-Paul Sartre.[1] It was written in 1970, but a radio production in early 1971 was banned because of political sensitivity. The play was finally presented on radio by the Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation in 1985, at which time a public reading was also held at the British Council in Colombo.
