Was anyone undone by fire, or turned to ashes through desire?Two young trans people find love whilst escaping oppression; a shipwrecked migrant searches for his family; goddesses clash; parents fret; an alchemist brews magic and a teenage Cupid sets hearts on fire - causing chaos and near disaster. And all the while, time is running out! Galatea is an unapologetically queer tale of love, magic, and the importance of welcoming outsiders. Galatea was originally written in the 1580s by John Lyly, William Shakespeare's best-selling but now long-forgotten contemporary, inspiring Shakespeare's comedies from As You Like It to A Midsummer Night's Dream. Performed in front of Queen Elizabeth I over four hundred years ago, this tale of love, joy and the importance of welcoming outsiders is an incredibly resonant story for modern times. Galatea was originally commissioned by Brighton Festival, and adapted by Emma Frankland and Subira Joy, and edited by Andy Kesson. This text features set and costume design sketches by Mydd Pharo, BSL translation support from Duffy, and notes from each contributor on the creation of the piece. This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at Brighton Festival, in May 2023.

First performed circa 1590, 'Mother Bombie' is unique among Lyly's comedies in its urban setting and focus upon middle and lower class concerns. Structured upon a Roman new comedy model, the play turns on the tissue of misconceptions surrounding the efforts of four fathers to secure socially advantageous marriages for their heirs.

John Lyly was the master of the private theatre stage in the 1570s and 1580s, and this play represents his individual Euphuistic style. It is a love comedy, mimicking Queen Elizabeth's court, and retelling an ancient legend of the prolonged sleep of the man with whom the moon fell in love.
