Kristin Scott Thomas on how Electra changed her life: 'Seeing Zoë, I thought, ''Aha, that's how I do it.'''

The Telegraph has today published an interview with actress Kristin Scott Thomas, in which she discusses the profound effect that Zoë's performance as Electra (1997 in UK; 1998-9 in US) has had on her.

Watching the Ancient Greek tragedy unfold on Broadway, with Zoe in the title role, inspired Scott Thomas to shift the focus of her career away from film and towards acting for the stage. As she comments, 'Seeing Zoë, I thought, ''Aha, that's how I do it.'''

Scott Thomas, who is currently playing Electra at London's Old Vic, points to the play's power as she recalls Zoe's production: 'the play was just so meaningful to me about life my life and others. I started to weep and everyone around me, men and women, was doing the same thing.'
