By Sophocles inspires Sophie Max to write a candid look at familial violence. Sharp Edges is merely a shadow of Electra, but Max coils the myth on itself and turns it into a sorrowful one-woman-show on (dis)loyalty and grief. Directed by Blair McAlpine, Max is Ellie, who grew up in a divided family. The overt factions saw Ellie and her father band together to snicker and oppose her mother and sister. Ellie idolises her dad and detests her mum. “When I was born, I think Mum was disappointed […] No one was particularly happy to see me”.
