An ancient Greek love story, this show presents the ur-lesbian of the poetic canon, but not as we know her. Sappho bursts out of 6th-century BC looking like a clubber, grooving to synthesised beats.
Written by Wendy Beckett and originally performed in Greek, it enacts an alternative history in Lesbos as Sappho’s poetry is combined with song and dance on a set that spangles with silver and gold: this could be a themed “ancient Greek” night at the Ministry of Sound.
