Thespians

HOME Manchester, JPT Productions & Mercury Theatre Colchester present the MISCHIEF production THESPIANS Greece the Musical (But not that one) Book & Lyrics Jonathan Sayer Music & Lyrics Ed Zanders By arrangement with Mischief Worldwide Ltd Greece is the word. Ancient Greece to be specific. It’s the year 534 BC and the entire country has been ravaged by a dreadful drought. Thespis and his sister Poly live on the tiny island of Ikaria where nothing ever really happens, until the entire population (all five of them) are forced to go to Athens to compete in a deadly prayer competition. All hope is lost until Thespis stumbles upon something that will change the world forever. If you thought something funny happened on the way to the forum, wait until you hear what happened en route to the amphitheatre! Written by Jonathan Sayer (co-writer of The Play That Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong and The Comedy About A Bank Robbery) and Ed Zanders (musical director Mischief Movie Night), and packed with comedy, chaos and choreography, do not miss MISCHIEF’s first musical about the power of walking a greek mile in someone else’s sandals.
