The OG femme fatal, Euripides’ sorceress-seducer, Jason’s golden goose—Medea... now there’s a goddess who could have had it all. But, like clown and actress April Small, things haven’t quite worked out in her favour. That’s the tragedy of aiming your arrow at a shot star.

With glitz, glamour, guts and gore, this outrageously funny one-woman play draws in a cast of tragic women to bring out the heart of the matter of female freedom and the power of love. Maria Callas, Vanessa Redgrave, Gloria Swanson—Bloody Medea!!! is a rebellion of a performance that’s bursting at the seams with people who were never meant to be hemmed in.

Created between 2020 and 2022 with clown-based theatre company Spymonkey's Aitor Basauri ‘the reigning monarchs of physical comedy’ (The Age Melbourne), this heartfelt and truly humane swansong to a career that never started will see you, and April (famously blood-phobic), on the floor.
