Saraya Haddad presents her one-woman play about the time she performed a play she doesn’t remember. Join her in this fictional retelling of the astonishing time she played Ariel in Shakespeare's The Tempest, whilst spiked. One minute she was in her campus bar, about to leave for the show, the next… blackout. Watch her piece together the past 13 hours, pushing herself back up to the surface and out of the spiker's control. Laugh with her, and cry with her, as she notices the uncanny parallels between Shakespeare's play and the experience of having her bodily autonomy washed away.

Grappling with the fact an anonymous person had wiped out her bodily autonomy, her memory and left her performing a play so inebriated that she could barely speak, felt like a tsunami. Since she was a teenager The Tempest has been one of Saraya's favourite Shakespeare plays, and in the days after being spiked she noticed the eerie parallels between the play and her spiking. Shakespeare’s play revolves around a magician, Prospero, who uses his magical powers to colonise, control and puppeteer those around him. She played Ariel, a magical spirit enslaved by Prospero; who longs to be set free. Prospero’s magic has the power to mind-alter, to disorientate, to erase characters’ memories, just like a spiking drug. Watch as she tries to find her way back to shore.

    Really well staged and performed by a talented and energetic cast. Slightly let down by an unconvincing ending. 4 1/2 stars if I had that option. OJS is a favourite venue. Back for Scrooge in Rouge in a couple of weeks
