“Pull up your Parthenons and let’s get Grecian!” After his monumental victory at the Trojan War, Odysseus begins the epic journey home to Ithaca and his wife, Penelope. But Poseidon has other plans… So begins this madcap retelling of the greatest story ever told. Join a host of fantastical characters on a mythical, musical (and downright ridiculous) journey as they battle through sirens and a cyclops. Prepare yourself for a boatload of riotous humour – with apologies to Homer! Charles Court Opera and Jermyn Street Theatre join forces to turn Homer’s epic tale on its head in a bonkers new take on one of the oldest adventures. A legendary part of Christmas in London, Charles Court’s boutique pantos are utterly irresistible and not to be missed. |
