Under

Playwright and poet Imogen Stirling and producer and multi-instrumentalist Susan Bear present Under: a brand new fusion of poetry, theatre and live drum and bass. Contemporising the Greek myth of Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, Under delves into female choice, sexual autonomy and ownership with unbridled sensuous joy. Weighed down by the looming expectations of her age, fertility and motherhood, 29 year old Steph tries to ignore the pull of the underworld. But as the music builds and pleasure grows, is it any surprise that she finds herself yearning for something different? Originally commissioned by Push The Boat Out festival and the National Theatre of Scotland.
