The story of a young mother whose downfall is witnessed by a chorus of angels.

‘Jezebel’ is inspired by a play of the same name written by a 16 years old Nataza Strapko when moving from Kalisz, a religious town in Poland, to live in South London.

In a modern interpretation of the story from the Old Testament, where the Phoenician princess is thrown out of the window and her flesh was eaten by dogs, for her transgressions against God, Nataza handles themes of religious judgement and female sexuality in a modern London setting. She tells the story of a young mother in an abusive relationship whose downfall is witnessed by a chorus of angels. Nataza, now 19 years old is studying at University, she has ASD and has an intricate way of analysing and interacting with the world.
