Crab Tragedy – A Greek Myth told sideways

Date Sat 25th March 2023, 2pm – get tickets

A topsy-turvy, heroic mis-adventure and retelling of the myths of ancient Greece for children and families.

Welcome to an epic mis-adventure and total shipwreck… where our hero Ulysses keeps getting it all wrong and the real hero is not who you might think….

Ancient myths collide in an imaginative, highly-visual, re-telling of the journey to Mount Olympius and the gods of ancient Greece, brought to you by the highly-skilled, international, clowning team at Teatro Pomodoro.

Crab Tragedy is a hilarious new show made in association with Theatre Porto (and the team who brought you Star of Wonder). It has been especially adapted from an original show (Sirens, Men and Crabs), for children and family audiences as a pilot performance in 2023 ahead of regional and national touring.

Come and be the amongst the first audiences to experience this brand-new show!

We also have performances for school groups on Friday 24th March at 1.30pm. Please contact jess@TheatrePorto.org for more information.

Audiences

  • Ages 7+
  • Family audiences
  • Theatre Studies students/ learners
  • Workshops on Myths and Legends for KS2 available – on request
