Kettlehead Studios presents: The Lindworm

Kettlehead Studios is a fledgling production company committed to empowering narrative artists to tell the best stories they can possibly tell. We are pleased to present Portland native Madison Mondeaux’s local playwriting and directing debut with a staged reading of The Lindworm.

As with any production, The Lindworm requires rehearsal space, a performance venue, props, costumes, scripts, and of course stipends for the hardworking cast and crew bringing the production to life. That's where you come in--your donation helps offset our production costs, and allows us to continue pursuing our passion for the narrative arts.

The Lindworm - Synopsis
This intense romantic drama follows Sasha, a professor of mythology and folklore trapped in an abusive marriage. When his estranged best friend (and ex-boyfriend) returns to town, life becomes a delicate balancing act between appeasing his abusive wife and reconciling unresolved feelings for his friend. Not to mention The Witch, who approaches him one day offering a solution to his problem. Sasha knows better than anyone that gifts from witches always come with a price, but when given the opportunity to change his story, will temptation outweigh consequence? Through the lens of a dark, modern fairytale, The Lindworm explores the complexities of love and violence, and delves into domestic violence as an unspoken issue facing members of the LGBTQ+ community today.
