Themis Theatre discuss Schrödinger’s Lesbians ahead of playing at The Glitch
We do love a good tag line, and that’s just what our latest guests are Libby Boyd and Ruby Blue Tansey-Thomas, who make up two-thirds of Themis Theatre, gave us for their upcoming show, Schrödinger’s Lesbians.
RIght now they are working on bringing the show to Waterloo’s The Glitch, having previously played as part of last year’s Camden Fringe.
Structured around the fragmented writings of Sappho’s, Schrödinger’s Lesbians is a joyful, irreverent new play from Themis Theatre about love, lesbians, and how to cope with a history that’s written you out of it.
We discuss the play, the important of representation on stage, lessons learnt from Camden Fringe and whether history is still being written by old white men.
Schrödinger’s Lesbians plays at The Glitch from 9 – 14 April. Further information and tickets available here.
Schrödinger’s Lesbians
The Glitch
9 – 14 March
“If a tree falls in a forest and no one hears it, does it make a sound? If two lesbians f*ck and no one records it, did it happen? Sorry let me rephrase that: if two women fall in love but none of the men write about it, did it happen?”
But it’s not only the men. Because on an island called Lesbos, Sappho is writing…
Structured around Sappho’s fragments, ‘Schrödinger’s Lesbians’ is a joyful, irreverent new play from Themis Theatre about love, lesbians, and how to cope with a history that’s written you out of it. Written by Libby Boyd, this will be Themis Theatre’s second show, taking a deepdive into the highs and lows of queer female friendships while asking the eternal question: ‘can you be just friends with someone you’re into?’
