Electra Project, The

Synopsis:
'Youth theatre at its best' ***** (BritishTheatreGuide.info). 'A massive highlight of the Brighton Fringe' ***** (WhatsOnStage.com). The Electra Project alludes to the 2012 nationally publicised and controversial GCSE performance, which resulted in the sacking of two drama teachers. This hilarious take on an educational scandal follows a group of A-Level students devising a Greek tragedy that goes horribly wrong and raises the question of whether we are still allowed to make mistakes in education. Written by Dave Jackson (NYT, ITV and BBC Radio 4).

At 14 you don't need sickness or death for tragedy. An emotional and comical roller coaster of teenage angst exploring growing up in today's modern society.

Intelligent, thought-provoking, funny and mature performances by an outstanding young cast. 'A massive highlight of Brighton Fringe 2012' ***** ( WhatsonStage.com).
