Medusa's First Kiss
A new queer punk-rock musical for all the family, by CBBC's Holly Mallett & writer-director P Burton-Morgan (In The Wilows, Sherlock Holmes & the Poison Wood).
Through playful knitted puppetry and electrifying rock music, this brand new story of self-acceptance and friendship is brought thrillingly to life. ​

10 Feb - 21 April 2024
The world premiere of Medusa’s First Kiss plays at Little Angel Theatre this 2024 season.
​
Medusa has just started at Olympus High. Look, there’s sports star Atlas out on the field, Aphrodite cheerleading from the side, goth Persephone hanging out by the school gates and don’t forget mysterious school-witch Circe… Maybe this is the school where Medusa will finally learn how to fit in. But soon enough she’s out with the gods, as mean girl Athena writes a load of nasty words on her locker and even her own snakes-for-hair decide to give her the cold shoulder. She’s on her own.
​
Will she ever find friends, let alone love? And who will help her along the way?
