La Femme est Morte Review
Written by Imogen Thomas
****
Fast-paced, physical and sexy, this frenzied interpretation of Phaedra is a thrilling theatrical rollercoaster. The dynamic, American cast presents a vibrant adaptation of the Greek tragedy, complete with exciting dances and a Greek chorus in the form of the Paparazzi, who perform covers of Take That and the Spice Girls songs, whilst adding a humorous touch of celebrity obsession to the piece. Although some of the numbers do sound like karaoke, this adds to the kitsch undertone of the piece, and on the whole this is an energetic and stylish musical-comic-tragedy.
