Other Theatre Company presents 

This Is Not Medea

Fri 15 NOV | 7 PM

Created and performed by Christina Appana

Director Simon Ratcliffe | Producer & Lighting Designer Darren Knapton | Sound Designer Nick Webb

Countries represented: England & Greece

What happens when a walking Greek tragedy comes to Brexit Britain?


This is Not Medea is a triggering dark comedy about passports, pints, a global pandemic, arts, the lack of arts, the lack of toilet paper... and murder.

The Other Theatre Company are a new Midlands based company that challenges the depths of what it means to be the 'other' through a necessary exploration of identity that is now most relevant than ever.


Writer's note: In the midst of the pandemic, I turned to pen and paper to escape reality and brewed the story of This is Not Medea. As a Greek, mixed race immigrant, I often fail to fit in the boxes that society needs to define me by. I felt a burning need to write about my lived experiences of not belonging, the unheard voices formed under the scope of prejudice, particularly after Brexit.
