ADEY

Bethlehem Wolday-Myers / RED SEA POETRY • Amateur Company

50 minutes•Theatre 1
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.
