A black and white image of Medusa on stage. Medusa stands with her hair covered in snakes, dressed in a black lace-up top with flowing sleeves, and a reflective snake-skin pattern skirt, gesturing to the audience. She has heart-shaped glasses hanging from the top of her shirt. She has a smile on her face and is holding a microphone. Behind her is a screen that shows text saying 'Medusa's Guide to Modern Dating' in Ancient Greek style lettering, with the word 'Modern' laying on top in swirling lettering. To Medusa's left is a wooden coat stand with a white sheet hanging from it and a head wreath hanging from it. To her right is a small table covered in vines, with a goblet on the top.

Medusa is on stage with her blonde hair covered in gold snakes. She is wearing a black lace-up top with flowing sleeves, and a silver snake-skin patterned skirt. Medusa is mid-song, her mouth open and eyes closed. Her face is slightly scrunched as if singing with more power. She is holding a microphone to her face in one hand, and the other is touching her shoulder. Behind her, a coat rack with white sheets on it is visible

South Australia

Medusa Returns! Following a smash-success debut in 2023 at Adelaide Fringe and an encore run during Adelaide Cabaret Fringe, Erinn Jade as Medusa is back to delight and fright, as this mythical marvel takes back her power and her story is retold. This one-woman cabaret cobra will combine comedy and tragedy, music and melody, and give you a night you will never forget!

You think you know the story of Medusa. She's a gorgon, a monster. But there's so much more to her, and to the story you think you know. Now she's embracing the new modern age, and making it her own (with an ancient twist). Feminist, fun, heart-breaking and heart-warming, this is one not to miss.

★★★★ "Enjoyable cabaret that shows an endearing side to one of Greek mythology's misunderstood characters" - Upside Adelaide

Presented by: Erinn Jade

Erinn Jade is an emerging, independent, South Australian artist with 15 years of amateur performance under her belt. For the past 3 years she has been in the early stages of her professional practice as an artist and director in the Adelaide Fringe.

In 2022 - 2023, Jade directed and hosted her first Fringe show Cabaret Cliché, which was a sold-out financial success. Cabaret Cliché was a collection and celebration of local Adelaide amateur artists, with a smorgasbord of acts including burlesque, pole-dance, contemporary dance, powerful vocals and fire eating.

Jade’s solo debut, Medusa’s Guide to Modern Dating made its world premier at the Adelaide Fringe 2023, and returned by popular demand during the Adelaide Cabaret Fringe Festival the same year.

This show encourages audience participation and interaction, and the performer moves around within the audience.
