Medusa's Snakes

"How did Medusa's snakes feel about being attached to her decapitated head? This is the concept behind Lauren Elizabeth Pope's imaginative, if rather bizarre, new play. The piece feels like an extended Monty Python sketch at times, Gordon and Cunningham-Siggs portray the snakes' friendship with a great deal of warmth and fun. Ideas of identity, heroism and timelessness emerge in a way that works surprisingly well." -The Scotsman
