Presented by Hannah Greenstreet and Charlotte Vickers

I look over at you. You’re like a statue.  

But not a statue. Not rock, nor chained to a rock. Flesh. Blood. Bone. 

In modern London, two girls meet under a starry sky. In ancient Ethiopia, a hero saves a princess, chained to a rock. Somewhere not quite either, first love meets its match. 

Andromeda by Hannah Greenstreet reimagines a lost play, constellating ancient fragments with a contemporary queer love story. This exploration of the stories we tell each other asks what happens when a young woman falls for someone unexpected, and how to feel proud when the world tells us not to be. 

What do you do when you’re stuck between a myth and a hard place? 

Supported by Arts Council England Lottery Funding and by TORCH as part of the Humanities Cultural Programme. Developed with support from CPT, Nottingham Playhouse and the Oxford Playhouse.
