an elektra
'an elektra' premiered at the Blue Room Theatre in Northbridge on October 17 as a late night show commencing at the unheard of time 10.30pm.
'an elektra' ran to packed houses for two weeks. Unfortunately due to venue commitments it was not possible to extend the season at that time.
However due to continued interest in the production there is to be a
ONE NIGHT ONLY performance of 'an elektra' at the NEXUS THEATRE on November 11th at 8pm.
This may be your last chance to witness the production that broke all late-night show records.
Re-packaged for an anticipated Eastern States tour 'an elektra' will play together with a preview of Malcolm Crisp's new production 'A Radical Re-Interpretation (Chekhov: The Seagull)' Which will commence for a season at the Blue Room Theatre on November 23rd.
All tickets $10.00

A production by Malcolm Crisp
Designed by Jo Marsh
Soundscape by Graham Knapp
With

Timothy Collins
'The Electra'was written by Sophocles over 2000 years ago and explored a
society that had begun to question such notions as justice and honour.
This new production (retitled 'an elektra') warp-drives the story to a
dark landscape inhabited by a warlike people who have nothing to celebrate
but a history of conquest, murder, and carnal gratification.
It is a sensually violent rampage through the dark-side of a society that
has discovered that principles and beliefs are nothing more than tools of
political and personal seduction. Malcolm Crisp's 'an elektra' is a
post-modern exploration through an ancient text freshly mapping its
insights into how individuals make choices about who they are and what they
do.
This controversial and edgy production, designed by Jo Marsh, is
frantically paced and is underscored by a sizzling soundscape performed
live by Graham Knapp (From one of Perth's hottest bands The June Brides).
'an elektra' is uncompromising in its contemporary language, use of
physical imagery, and intellectual investigations. Aptly described as "like
having sex on a rollercoaster with Derrida!" Malcolm Crisp's 'an elektra' is an explicit journey that will not be easily forgotten.
If you are not offended by nudity and scenes of simulated sex, or afraid of
imaginative acts of violence, and gratuitous deconstructions, then grab a
ticket while you still can.
