Dark Forest Theatre is proud to present ‘I, She, Medusa’
Written by Nathan Martin and Directed by Nathan Martin and Heather McCaskill.
‘‘I will not be silenced. I will not be forced to retreat, to fall, too falter. I will not have my voice stifled in my throat, fearing the consequences of the words that flow freely from it. The river of my voice flows across the barren land of men’s ears. Who pick up the words only to cast off what they deem is inferior.’’ Medusa – ‘I, She, Medusa’
Compelled to remain within her gilded prison, Medusa is trapped. To escape her reality, she retreats into games, stories, and make-believe, her only visitor the god Hermes, who humours her desires. But in the distance, the ticking of a clock grows louder — counting down to zero. Her prison begins to fracture, exposing a surreal and terrifying world beneath the surface.
This piece was created to highlight the ongoing crisis of violence against women in Northern Ireland. It seeks to give voice to those we have lost and to honour the strength and resilience of those who endure.
‘I, She, Medusa’ is an original and fictional piece created in remembrance to all the women in Northern Ireland who have been taken from us.
A portion of all tickets sold will be donated to Womens Aid Belfast and literature will be provided after the show. Further information can be found at https://belfastwomensaid.org.uk/

Age Guidance: 16+ The show deals with themes of abuse, death and domestic violence
