I have seen two of the three Kakoyannis classical tragedies (Eléktra and Ifiyéneia, though not the Troádhes) and they are a must for someone of your interests and inclinations.

Iríni Pappá was so beautiful that when she was once invited to judge a beauty contest the entire audience and the rest of the judges wanted to give her the award. She was also a good performer when she restrained herself and when she was asked to stretch herself beyond the fiery, flamboyant Mediterranean woman -- what I call the Sylvana Mangano curse.

Glenn Close is underrated and Wasikowska made a wonderful Jane Eyre in the last iteration (Michael Fassbender was not shabby as Rochester either).
