When we think of gladiators, our minds jump to roaring crowds, brutal combat, and the heroes of the Colosseum. But hidden in the shadows of history are the stories of the women who once stepped into the arena—only to be erased when Emperor Septimius Severus banned them from competing in 200 AD.

Making, Designing & Surviving Theatre | An Interview with Casey Jay Andrews | Summerhall Arts | Edinburgh Fringe Festival
Casey Jay Andrews is one of those rare artists who seems to live at the intersection of storytelling, design, and sheer creative resilience. Her latest work, The Quiet Earth Beneath—a poignant collaboration with musician Jack Brett—has found a new shape since its first iteration at the Adelaide Fringe, and now descends into Edinburgh with an simple, lyrical power. It’s haunting, earthy, and somehow manages to still feel like a campfire story with glitter in its flames.
