BWW Review: CALLISTO: A QUEER EPIC, Arcola Theatre
It's 1680 in London, Arabella Hunt (Marilyn Nadebe) is secretly married to Amy (Georgia Bruce) in what inadvertently becomes the first ever recorded gat marriage in England. In the meantime but in 1936, Alan Turing (Darren Sia) is paying a final visit to Isobel Morcom (Phoebe Hames), mother to his first and only love, Christopher. San Fernando Valley sees Tammy Frazer (Francesca Zoutewelle) become a pornstar for Callisto Pornographic Studios in 1979. In 2223, on the Moon, Lorn (Jonny Purkiss) is explaining to his A.I. partner Cal (Nicholas Finerty) what it means to be loved. These four stories that have nothing and yet everything in common intertwine in Callisto: a queer epic, becoming a vast exploration of love and passion across time.
