Mourning Becomes Electra gets an early death

"New Group artistic director Scott Elliott stages the work, starring Lili Taylor and Jena Malone, which began previews Jan. 27 and opened Off-Broadway Feb. 19 at The Acorn @ Theatre Row. The run was originally slated to play through April 18 but will end with the 1 PM Sunday performance on March 1. No reason for the change was given."

Perhaps it has something to do with this, in which Charles Isherwood calls the production "four hours of quicksand from which you begin to fear you will never, ever escape."
