pretty.strange.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Our Senior production takes to the stage in week 5.<\/p>\n

pretty.strange.<\/em> has been written by SCEGGS alumna, Olivia Satchell after a commission by Ms Inga Scarlett for SCEGGS Drama.<\/p>\n

The play is set in an independent girls’ school and is a modern reimagining of the Greek myth of Persephone in the Underworld. The story deals with rebirth and decay and is centred around a group of teenage misfits who come together to save another and reconnect with the natural environment. The play digs into themes of loss and disconnection. It examines a daughter\u2019s need to individuate from her mother and her personal exploration and journey to self-empowerment and fulfillment.<\/p>\n

Like the ancient Greek theatre, a large chorus narrates and guides the audience throughout, emphasising important lessons along the way.<\/p>\n
