Underworlds

In this tapestry of storytelling, poetry and monologue, Arachne spins tales of darkness, death and feminine mystique. Dead women including Eurydice, Lot’s wife, Cleopatra and a black widow get to set the record straight.

"Superb verse and prose, perfectly constructed"

Fringe Review, 'Hidden Gem'

"Powerful & inspiring. If you think historical female characters have got a raw deal then this is absolutely the show for you."

Broadway Baby, ★★★★
