Sappho, Southwark Playhouse Elephant review - a glitzy celebration of sapphic love

by Jane Edwardes

Too much camp and not enough content in this tribute to the Greek poet Who is Sappho? What is she? Not much is known about the influential Greek poet who was born some 2500 years ago. Her poetry was celebrated during her lifetime, but very little has survived. Those fragments that do exist speak of love, passion and longing.
