Tantalus

T0145752634
Tantalus is a modern theatrical epic, which for the first time, tells the whole story of The Trojan War. Though the roots of the story lie in a war nearly three thousand years ago, Barton's great chronicle for the stage is a sequence of entirely new plays which recreates in vividly contemporary terms the mythical sweep of this powerful epic of war, family and destiny. Featuring some of the most timeless characters in Greek mythology, including the beautiful Helen, the angry Achilles, the prophesying Cassandra, the great commander Agamemnon and of course the Trojan Horse itself, Barton's monumental piece of work seizes the power and potency of the Greek myths, whilst creating something entirely modern. Tantalus will be performed in three parts: The Outbreak of War; The War, and The Homecoming.
Author John Barton

Production details

Tantalus is a monumental work and Norwich Theatre Royal are staging two complete cycles from Wednesday 4th April until Sunday 8th April 2001. Each cycle's playing time is around ten hours (with breaks during each part for comfort and refreshments). Twelve years in the writing, six months in rehearsal, ten hours in the playing, Tantalus breaks the boundaries of theatre itself. Three thousand years ago, the Trojan War changed the world. Now Tantalus will change ours. Theatre Street, Norwich, NR2 1RL
