«Hamlet-Electre» is the contemporary play by Cécile Ladjali, published by Actes Sud in 2009 (96 pages, in French).
A contemporary rewriting of the myths of Hamlet and Electra: the action takes place in Caína, the land of fratricide.

The play belongs to the Actes Sud-Papiers collection and its subtitle is «drame contemporain en quarante jours».
For readers of contemporary theater interested in the revision of classical myths.
