**London, UK** – Oscar-winning actress Brie is making waves – or rather, sporting a striking new haircut – in her latest role as Elektra in a punk-rock adaptation of Sophocles’ classic tragedy. The production, currently running in London’s West End, has received mixed reviews, but Brie herself is largely escaping criticism for the play’s shortcomings. While her post-Oscar career choices have been questioned by some, her decision to tackle a challenging classical role in London is being praised as a bold and refreshing move. The juxtaposition of her edgy new haircut with her elegant stage attire is also generating positive buzz. The production’s reception contrasts with the equally lukewarm reviews for Rami Malek’s current run as Oedipus, suggesting a somewhat lukewarm response to the current wave of classical theatre in London.
