MYTHS
A DAY IN THE UNDERWORLD MYTHS is a new physical comedy based on the legends of Ancient Greece. MYTHS takes us through a day in the lives of the Fates, the underworld team dealing in life and death, as they are interrupted by a few of the most loved Greek legends. Orpheus bangs on their door for his beloved Eurydice, the Harpies drop Sisyphus at their feet and they reminisce about poor old Medusa. With a plethora of fantastic Greek legends to choose from, this production is a comedy re-imagining of a few of the most loved. Three actors play over 30 characters and a live musician adds original music and onstage sound effects. Script available now on Amazon and Kindle: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/152347100X?ref=olp_product_details |
First performed at the Blue Elephant Theatre
18th November - 6th December 2014 REVIEWS: 'The quality of this production is a match for some of the best comedy - Monty Python comes to mind. Their humouor is ironic, witty, clever, and bone dry at times... a highly entertaining show... I am sure we were laughing so hard that the Gods heard us up on Mount Olympus' - UK Theatre Network – 4 Stars 'I was so immersed! ... still smiling at the memory of it a few days later... wonderful...never seen anything like it before' – Southwark News - 4 Stars 'a glorious take on the legends of ancient Greece' – South London Press - 4 Stars ‘drawing its wry irreverent tone from classic comedy like Monty Python and Douglas Adams... sharply performed... glorious individual characters... fresh and funny... and also a brilliant final twist – too smart and unexpected to spoil’ -EustonStreetDiaries 'I was hooked... engaging... spot on... witty... gripping, fun and touching' – Female Arts - 4 Stars ‘it’s fast, funny and skilfully delivered’ – Views from the Gods - 4 stars Also performed by special engagement at the Hellenic Centre, 12th and 13th June 2015 www.helleniccentre.org |
