LEXI, OR ELECTRA RETOLD

By Laura Turner
Directed by Jake Smith
Performed by Grace Savage
Original music by Grace Savage

Featuring singer-songwriter and beatboxing champion Grace Savage, Lexi is a one-woman show bringing together beatboxing and music in a modern retelling of the Greek story Elektra. Hull, 2017, a smoking summer. Lexi is ready for her life to start, busting beats and singing songs. She’s got big plans. Then a suckerpunch: she finds her dad dead. Obsessed with finding out the truth, her life becomes a dark path full of secrets, lies and home truths.

This performance is a work in progress.
