Electrified is now in its second week, and we have completed a brief plot outline of Act One. Our tutors Dr. George Rodosthenous and Dr. Tony Gardener asked us to show a 10 minute version of Act One just to get a gist of how the story line is intended to flow. We also experimented with ways in which the whole cast could be on stage during a duet, and improvised a scene in which Beatrix teaches her younger sister Gwendolyn how to be a lady.
Photo A: Beatrix teaches Gwendolyn how to be the perfect wife.
Photo B: Our fairies experiment with how they are going to portray the ‘Ugly Light’ song.
Photo C: By using metatheatre, we are using Gilbert and Sullivan’s Iolanthe to showcase the Savoy Theatre’s first use of the electric light. Pictured here is a scene where the fairies lust after a mortal man.
Photo D: Here the cast are learning “Tripping Hither” with our Musical Director Rachel, a song from Gilbert and Sullivan’s Iolanthe.
