Thieves aren't in the business of love - they're in the business of money, of coins clinking and shining, cold and hard. But Galinda doesn't want money - what she wants is flesh, warm and yielding under the pressure of her fingers, soft and supple and slick; tasting like salt, like sweat - like blood. or; Galinda is inveigled into a scheme to divest one Elphaba Thropp of her fortune. A retelling of Sarah Waters' Fingersmith starring Oz's finest.

the year is 2035. the new beauty standard is for women to cut their ears off, as ears are a masculine trait which make the face look too big and hearing isnt necessary as it doesnt align with being demure. evil feminists say perhaps this is unnecessary and ears are natural. women are agressively proclaiming they are cutting their ears off due to sensory issues

If Hadestown has a moral, she says, then it’s “you have to try, you have to have hope, not because success is a given – it’s not. Orpheus fails. We heroicise” – here she breaks off to apologise that jet lag has led to her making up words – “we heroicise Orpheus not because he succeeds but because he tries, and that endeavour alone is worthwhile. How to live, and not merely survive, is to believe things could change.”

Anaïs Mitchell on her musical Hadestown: 'I worked on it so long I was afraid I'd never make another record'
