Sappho

An olive branch heavy with dark fruit resting on sunlit white marble above a deep blue sea, a distant headland on the horizon.

Sappho is a one-woman play with live music, written and performed by Mari Reeves — the ancient poet's voice brought to the stage across twenty-six centuries. Poetry, desire, exile, and the fragments that survive: a solo monologue accompanied by a live musician. (Also published as a book.)

“What cannot be said will be wept.”
