The Games

Synopsis/Company

Three athletes with aspirations of greatness are poised to compete at the largest sporting event in the ancient world, ‘The Games’.

Inspired by stories of the ancient Olympics Spike Theatre bring back to life a world of Greek Gods and bizarre sporting events in their own inimitable style. This comic re-telling of all things Greek will incorporate sporting equipment with a thousand uses, an original musical score and scenes of simulated nudity!
