CHigwell School students perform Greek Tragedy
Chigwell School’s Drama Department staged an ambitious production of Sophocles’ 'Electra', a Greek Tragedy about revenge and family feuds.
This modern interpretation was a rich mixture of dance, song, choral movement and some breath-taking stage fighting.
The lead role, Electra, played by Odette Clark, was a hugely challenging part if only for the vast number of lines to be learnt.
The school's Director of Drama, Joe Maingot, said: "Well done to Odette for a truly impressive feat of memory and a moving, emotional portrayal of this tortured soul.
"Dance was beautifully choreographed by Year 13 pupil Serena Bassi and this was very much enhanced by highly professional use of light and sound effects. Well done to all involved - a great show!
