This is the untold story of Sappho — poetess, queer icon, and history’s first great songwriter. 

Torn from the woman she loves and forced into a marriage she never wanted, Sappho fights to reclaim her lost love, learning the heavy price the world demands of those who defy its rules. Celebrated in her own time but then silenced for centuries, she bursts from the fragments to sing again. 

Guitar in hand and lyrics sharp as flames, Sappho returns – part oracle, part rock star — in a musical memoir illuminating the eternal struggle and triumph of women who dare to love, to dream, and to create in defiance of the world.
