Comedy Drama / Guildhall Promoted

The Games is as an ‘undiscovered’ Aristophanes comedy. The show tells the story of three Greek nobodies caught up in a celestial bet between Zeus, Hera and Hercules. Our unwitting heroes: Stanzas (a terrible poet), Darius (the runt of the litter) and Hermaphrodite (born a girl) travel to compete in the ancient Olympics and take on the heroes of the sporting world with epic results for mankind.  Created in 2010, ’The Games’ won Best Production and Best Comedy in The Liverpool Daily Post Readers’ Choice Awards 2010 and was re-written for showcasing at the Edinburgh fringe festival 2011 to much critical acclaim.

‘The trio of performers give their all to the audience while ruthlessly refusing to compromise on the humour – a simple and winning formula, yet one that so few shows choose to respect. Definitely triple gold’ - The Stage
