In Ancient Greece, there was a long tradition of the festival of Lenaia, where in amongst the drinking and dancing there was a competition for the best new plays - all in the name of Dionysus, the god of wine and theatre.
So join us in the Studio this January as we revive the custom in our own way with Odyssey, Interrupted, as a modern-day troupe grapples with trying to make the epic tale feel relevant (and brief enough) for our own time. Along their journey, they encounter Cyclops, Sirens, jealousy, lust, and even the odd friend they meet along the way…
Classical theatre, of course, was split into Comedy and Tragedy. But rest assured, we shall be serving up a comedy tonight.
