Inspired by stories of the ancient Olympics – and the Greek comic satyrs of Euripides and Aristophanes – Spike Theatre will bring to life again the world of the Greek gods (and bizarre sporting events) in their own inimitable style.

This comic re-telling of all things Greek will incorporate sporting equipment with a thousand uses, an original musical score and a sense of the ridiculous.

But be prepared: The Games is war…minus the shooting.
