Oedipus
Reloaded (2004)
Reworked by Phyl Brighouse
65 students from schools all over the Wirral came together over two weeks in
April 2004 to produce a new, hour long version of a Greek classic – Oedipus
Reloaded.
This project was open to all schools on the Wirral and was funded by Gifted
& Talented, Wirral New Opportunities and the Arts Council of England.
The company had a residential weekend at the Conway Centre in Anglesey where
they worked with theatre professionals from around the country on a range of
skills including physical theatre, vocal production and stage combat. Under
the direction of Off the Ground Theatre they put together the play in 5 days
and performed at West Kirby Grammar School, Pensby High School and The Oldershaw
School.
