After their five star success at the fringe festivals last year, Hungry Wolf return with a new play The Electra Project.
This production is a piece of theatre that alludes to a 2012 nationally publicised and controversial GCSE performance, which resulted in the sacking of two drama teachers.
The piece explores themes such as the importance of drama in schools, the boundaries that are in place and questions whether we are still allowed to make mistakes in education. This is a very current and relevant issue, given that under the new government strategy there is presently so much political debate as to the future of creative arts in schools.
The production, a black comedy, will preview at Emporium, London Road, Brighton on May 4 & 5, 2014 as part of the Brighton Fringe Festival prior to a week long run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August.
Visionary Youth Theatre Company Hungry Wolf will perform the piece, following an extensive search across East and West Sussex to find the area’s most talented young actors and Hungry Wolf hopes to become Sussex’s answer to National Youth Theatre.
The piece is written and directed by National Youth Theatre director, Radio 4 Young Comedy Writer of the Year and ITV writer Dave Jackson.
Hungry Wolf are Youth theatre innovators and made their debut at the Edinburgh fringe last year to 5 star reviews resulting in national press interest, a school tour and a slot on ITV. Hungry Wolf gives talented young actors 15-21 years old the opportunity to work with up and coming directors and writers on imaginative, cutting edge theatre resulting in national performance opportunities.
