I'm in a presentation at my drama group. Coming to this are several west end performers and teachers at drama schools. I am doing a monologue. It's Electra from the play Electra by Sophocles. If you know the play it's when she's telling the chorus how much she hates her mother for the first time.
If you don't know the play you could still help, Electra is set in ancient Greece, electra's (my character) father was murdered by her mother and her mother's lover. Her younger sister has also died and she has just recieved the news that her brother has died. He was her one hope of getting revenge on her mother and justice for her father, without him she has nothing. In my monologue she is angry and telling anyone who'll listen exactly how she feels. Electra is rich (she's a princess) but my interpretation of her is that she has too much on to concentrate on her appearance! Please help me! I'm thinking of having a more modern costume and would rather not where a toga!
Thank you! xx
