Do you mind if we tell you some stories?Remythed takes the myths and legends from the backgrounds of its performers and reshapes, reforms, and retells them. From Sheherazade, to Anansi, by way of Lady Godiva – see our stories in ways you’ve never seen them before, in a show full of insight, dreams and wisdom that’ll leave you joyful, a bit tearful and questioning every story you’ve ever been told. LGBTQIA+ people have always been here; it’s time our collective myths reflected that fact. Remythed delights in a joyful reimagination of what queer history could look like.
Remythed began life at VAULT Festival in London 2023 where it won Show of the Week. It is the debut show of Bet’n Lev Theatre. Bet’n Lev Theatre was founded by Artistic Directors Roann Hassani McCloskey (Who Murdered My Cat, Hakawatis) and Joel Samuels (Cutting the Tightrope, Sugar Coat, Fever Pitch, Holby City). Reflecting their heritages Bet’n is an Anglicised version of the word “Belly” in both Hebrew and Arabic whilst Lev is Hebrew for “Heart.”
Remythed features and was developed by Joel and Roann with Ishmael Kirby (Moll and the Future Kings, Bridges Y Puentes, Grills), Lucy Roslyn (Orlando, Pennyroyal) and Emile Clarke (Crimes on Centre Court, The Little Mermaid, Scarlet Pimpernel.)
