Description

Do you mind if we tell you some stories? Remythed takes the myths and legends from the backgrounds of its performers and reshapes, reforms, and retells them. From Sheherazade, to Anansi, by way of Lady Godiva – see our stories in ways you've never seen them before, in a show full of insight, dreams and wisdom that'll leave you joyful, a bit tearful and questioning every story you've ever been told. LGBTQIA+ people have always been here; it's time our collective myths reflected that fact. Remythed delights in a joyful reimagination of what queer history could look like.

The loveliest group of humans retell myths and legends from a queer perspective. Great storytelling and brilliant cast.

I could have watched this show forever. Just a beautiful retelling of stories performed by a brilliant cast. This is exactly the kind of thing I came here for!

I enjoyed every minute of this show. It took me on a deep journey of emotion and introspection, and the cast struck such a good (and tricky!) balance between authentic, touching storytelling and clever humour. When I realised the show was coming to an end I was genuinely disappointed and could have watched so much more of it - and I rarely feel that way. Definitely check this one out. Really hope to see it again in future iterations.

Oh my goodness! What a wonderful, fun and important show to see. The actors create a very welcoming and safe space for the audience. The story telling about the story tellers is extremely well crafted and fascinating. As we don't want to give anything away, know that everyone is welcomed and included into the fabric of this piece. We highly, highly recommend that you see this!
