I’ve been writing music as long as I can remember. My grandmother was a composer and i would spend hours sorting though her extensive collection of music. she taught me how to read and write sheet music and moved her piano into my room. I’m always trying to find new ways to share the sounds i can hear in my head.
A striking reimagining of the Medusa and Athena myth, The Forked Tongue reclaims one of mythology’s most misunderstood tales. Through poetic monologue and visceral imagery, the play explores the blurred lines between vengeance and justice, divinity and humanity, beauty and monstrosity. As Athena and Medusa face each other across centuries of silence, their stories twist together in a meditation on power, trauma, and transformation. Fierce, lyrical, and unflinching, The Forked Tongue asks us to look again at the stories we think we know — and question who they were written for.Written by Babette ShawMusic by Jae Pietersen ScottPresented by Left Leg Productions
