ABOUT THE SHOW:
Maenad is a monodrama/folk-punk musical/comedy act/storytelling show/that one time a drunk stranger overshared about their problems to you at a house party.
Punctuated with visceral folk-punk songs, Maenad explores sex, disorder, addiction, queerness, chaos and survival. Through a mismatched pantheon of personal gods and vices. It confronts you with the question, what myths are you made of?
Maenad has been performed at The Space Theatre, Camden People’s Theatre (as a part of the Camden Fringe Festival) and The Glitch Waterloo (for A Pinch of Vault 2024).
An audio adaptation is currently in development with the help of Richard Shannon at Goldsmiths University.
Written and Performed by Elena Sirett
Direction & Dramaturgy by Katie Overstall and Chloe Taylor
