Spoken Word
ADEY
Bethlehem Wolday-Myers / RED SEA POETRY
Having graduated from drama school in 2023, Bethlehem is now navigating one of the toughest industries by herself – but she's never truly alone. Living at home with her traditional Eritrean mother Tsehaynesh, Bethlehem doesn't know what privacy is! Being a stoic woman of culture, Tsehaynesh struggles to understand Bethlehem's career in the arts. To make matters worse, something drastic happens to Bethlehem, meaning she'll have to work harder than ever. ADEY is a heartfelt semi-autobiographical play which combines spoken word, music and movement to transport us from vibrant West Green Road, Tottenham to palm tree covered Asmara, Eritrea.

A few blocks away in Dealey Plaza, the scene is quieter: a handful of people, clear skies. A man with an umbrella. A woman with a polaroid. A dressmaker with vertigo. These are the strange, true stories of the ordinary people who opted out of the main event, only to spend the rest of their lives unable to leave it.
