Bloody Medea!!!

Comedian, dancer, singer, rebel. April Small clowns around with 5,000 years of the tragic feminine in this tour-de-force of physical comedy.

A wild, bold and deeply human clown show that reimagines the tragedy of Medea through comedy, song and dance. Developed during lockdown with the brilliant Aitor Basauri of Spymonkey, Bloody Medea!!! dives into the untold story of love, betrayal and revenge with unrelenting humour and pathos.

Expect the nuttiest, weirdest and funniest moments, as Medea’s pure love explodes into chaotic hilarity and heart breaking tragedy. It’s a show that will make you laugh until you cry, then weep until you laugh.

“Highly unique, fantastically funny” — a must-see for anyone who loves a twisted tale told with joy and heart.

"The nuttiest, weirdest, funniest, fantastic & extremely talented actress, singer, who is able to express herself with such a black comical clown like theatrical, exaggerated emotion & euphoria ..she does it in an absolutely hilarious fashion quoting parts & readings of the Greek mythology Medea. She's like no other"

Audience review, Camden People's Theatre

"April's expressive and intelligent performance is delivered with nuance and skill. A bold, highly unique and fantastically funny show. Bloody Medea is an absolute blast. My partner rarely finds anything funny and I more or less had to drag her up from the floor"

Audience review, Tom Thumb Theatre, Margate

April is a wonderfully wild, and wickedly funny performer. Bloody Medea is an opportunity to dive into her imagination and experience Greek tragedy through the lens of a clown.
