Second Skin Theatre

A powerful play that invokes a modern twist on a once forgotten legend. Sappho... In 9 Fragments, written by Australian / British playwright Jane Montgomery Griffiths, is a politically-charged and inspirational work about Ancient Greece's first love poet intertwined with a fearlessly romantic modern-day affair.

While Sappho today is acknowledged as one of the most influential poets of her time, her work consists only of fragments that reveal little regarding her life, her passions and her lustful entanglements. The production's staging captures the elusivity of Sappho's work by literally suspending the actor just out of reach – as the poet's work has been since 600BC.

Directed by Jessica Ruano, this new production features the 'mesmerising' Victoria Grove(WhatsOnStage), following her seamless and sensual performance in Second Skin Theatre's award-winning La Chunga by Mario Vargas Llosa.
