Sappho: The Poetess
By Hayley Canham
Directed by Hannah Hauer-King, Produced by DEM Productions
Thursday 13 & Friday 14 August: 5.00pm
This is the untold story of Sappho — poetess, queer icon, and history’s first great songwriter.
Torn from the woman she loves and forced into a marriage she never wanted, Sappho fights to reclaim her voice and her lost love — learning the heavy price the world demands of those who defy its rules. Guitar in hand and lyrics sharp as flames, she returns — part oracle, part rock star — in a musical memoir of women who dare to love, to dream, and to create in defiance of the world.
This will be a special stripped-back version of the show, reimagined for Shedinburgh.
