Details

House of the Gods, set in a back street pub in First World War London, is a Gothic Opera in which Comedy and Horror walk hand in hand. Drawing inspiration from ancient Celtic tales, House of the Gods has disturbing implications for the 21st century. Following the huge success of their first opera - Gwyneth and the Green Knight, Lynne Plowman and Martin Riley have created another highly entertaining and original opera, this time for an adult audience. Echoes of Victorian music hall and cabaret mingle with the seductive sounds of patriotic propaganda as Jack O Connor, a disillusioned soldier back from the Front, finds himself living through what seems like a macabre dream. House of the Gods explores sacrifice, sex, death, science, innocence and empire as Jack tries to avoid being a hero! Suitable for 16 years and over.
