by Hammer and Tongs Theatre

Dates

Previews:
Tuesday November 18 & Wednesday November 19

Wednesday November 26

Join the Fates for an evening of hilarity in the underworld as Hammer and Tongs Theatre take on the myths of Ancient Greece. Dodge snakes with Medusa’s stylists, chug protein shakes with the goddess of war, and glimpse the dinner-party squabbles on Mount Olympus that really started the Trojan War.

The Greek Myths retold as you’ve never seen them before, accompanied by live music!

Reviews

"Wittily written and sharply performed...drawing its wry irreverent tone from classic comedy like Monty Python and Douglas Adams’ novels"

Euston Street Diaries

"★★★★... a fun, fast-paced hour propelled by polished performances from the cast"

Everything Theatre

"A show of non-stop comic cuts"

British Theatre Guide

"Jennifer Rose Lee's production fills the stage with colour and life...a match for some of the best comedy - Monty Python comes to mind"

UK Theatre Network

"Great storytelling...sweet, entertaining, funny and will teach you a thing or two"

Londonist

"Our intrepid trio take the audience on a journey that cleverly delivers several ancient stories told in a fresh and frantic way"
