Richard Stilgoe's Orpheus - The Mythical (A Musical Comedy about a Greek Tragedy)comes to The Other Palace this March.
The young disabled students of the Orpheus Centre work the same magic as the original Orpheus – they make the world stop and listen. To celebrate the Centre’s 20th birthday, they present Orpheus’ voyage to find the golden fleece and his doomed journey down to Hades to rescue his wife Eurydice, while battling the efforts of the bored and wilful gods and an unreliable satnav.
The Greek Chorus will be played by a different celebrity guest every performance:
- Fri 23 Mar - Martin Jarvis
- Mon 26 Mar - Patricia Hodge
- Wed 28 Mar - Charles Collingwood and Judy Bennett
- Fri 30 Mar - Bertie Carvel
- Sat 31 Mar (Matinee) - Mystery Guest
- Sat 31 Mar (Evening) - Jim Carter and Imelda Staunton
Directed by Katie Beard, Orpheus - The Mythical features words and music by Richard Stilgoe (Starlight Express, The Phantom of the Opera).
At The Other Palace from 23 to 31 March 2018, book your Orpheus - The Mythical tickets today!
*Please note: The performances on Wed 28, Thu 29 and Fri 30 March will be signed.
