Residencies|Festivals|Tours
Europe - Canada - Australia
TRAILER
“Megan Drury’s vocals imbue the show with an emotional richness as her range shifts from playful to mournful, hurried and frantic to powerful and controlled. It compliments the physical intensity around her and… culminates in an incredible scene at the end where she integrates lyrics from around fifty different songs while her body is thrown and passed between acrobats, all captured by a handheld camera whirling around her face.” - Justine Hall, See Do Eat (Adelaide, Aus)
“Magnetically holding it all together is Megan Drury at the mic, looking and sounding like a dark-haired, Weimar-era Annie Lennox, providing live music and a David Lynch-cabaret feel for the show… with a showstopping finale that’s a mad medley of everything from Rage Against the Machine to Dead or Alive.” - Janet Smith, Stir (Vancouver, CAN)
“Amid the acrobatic chaos, Drury effortlessly vocally toys around the recorded score… Drury guides us through the evening with warmth and wit, her voice cutting through the spectacle to ground the acrobatics with something unmistakably personable and engaging.” - John Doherty, That Guy In The Foyer (Adelaide, AUS)
“Sophisticated, innovative, moving. The latter is mainly thanks to the participation of the charismatic singer, Megan Drury, who breaks all boundaries with her heavenly, seductive, silver-moon soprano.” - Ingobert Waltenberger, Merker (Berlin, GER)

TRAILER
“Drury conjures up a whole world… a sod this attitude, a big heart, and a yearning for truth, ever-present in Drury’s precise physicality, supple voice, genuine warmth and detailed storytelling.” - Jo Ludlaw, The List (Adelaide, AUS)
“[Drury’s] storytelling is rich, muscular and emotionally precise… At key moments, audience members are invited to read lines aloud, becoming the chorus of characters, wild dogs and wolves… it deepens the sense of collective mythmaking; we are not just witnesses but participants in the tale… Drury’s performance is magnetic - luminous without sentimentality, fierce without sacrificing vulnerability. She makes the cosmic feel intimate and the intimate feel epic… Go for the mythology and moon landing. Stay for Megan Drury. Leave contemplating your own light and dark sides - and what you are still orbiting.” - Kate Gaul, Theatre Travels (Sydney, AUS)
Selene is storytelling at its most affecting. Wright & Grainger once again demonstrate their remarkable ability to transform myth into something achingly real. A radiant and memorable work. - John Doherty, The Barefoot Review (Adelaide, AUS)
“Drury is a compelling, charismatic performer with exquisite vocal and physical technique who brings us into the work with love. She jokes and cajoles, supports us through our readings, dips into sorrow, and then races with us to the end. We finish with full hearts, like half-drunk teens leaping into the moonlit lake together, the world open and full of possibility, and tears in everyone’s eyes. - Erin Harrington, Flat City Field Notes (Christchurch, NZ)
