The Ghost of Achilles

The Iliad or The Ghost of Achilles Odysseus has returned home — the suitors are dead, Penelope and Telemachus restored to him, and peace should follow. Yet the war still lives inside him. As he journeys to his father’s house, Odysseus tries his old disguises, but before Laertes’ grief, every trick falters. For the first time in twenty years, he is simply a son — no hero, no king — seeking counsel and forgiveness. But ghosts walk beside him. Achilles’ shadow looms large: the rival who chose death and glory where Odysseus chose survival. Now, facing his father, he wonders if he has truly come home. Between rage and remorse, pride and tenderness, the old warrior must ask the question no victory can answer: How does one return in mind, not just in body? Drawing on The Odyssey, The Iliad, The Aeneid, and Jason and the Golden Fleece, this powerful retelling brings together the stories of fathers and sons, grief and legacy, and the cost of heroism. At its heart lies a single, timeless struggle — to lay down the sword and find peace after war. A haunting, human story of homecoming and healing — Odysseus as you’ve never seen him before. £18.00 Advance £14.00 Under 18 Book 6+ tickets, get 10% off!* £19.00 Standard £16.00 Supporter Get Tickets!

Live Music

Cat in the Hat

Back in ’26! Formed in 2000 to commemorate the 30 anniversary of the death of Jimi Hendrix. The band went on to play regulary in South ~West Uk and Japan and Texas! Mary Caffrey bass and vocals. Mary’s experience on percussion and classical guitar stood her in good stead when she took up bass nearly twenty five years ago. Having played with artists such as Chris Jagger, Mary used her knowledge of rhythm to provide a tight, “in the pocket” groove on bass, justifiably earning her the nickname Rock Steady Mary. Charlie Bishop drums Having lived in India as a child, Charlie embraced the rhythmic traditions of the country as a small boy, and upon his return to the UK, continued his love of drums, which lead to his playing on an album, recorded at Peter Gabriel’s Real World, with drum legend Billy Cobham. Bill Birks Guitar and Vocals. Canadian Bill Birks was a session musician / sound engineer for most of the 70s and 80s, working with major bands such as The Korgis, The Cure, and John Martyn. Transferring from drums to guitar and bass in the early 80s, following a major motorbike accident, Bill was signed to CBS and released two albums for the label as well as providing the theme tune to the Warner Brothers film Radio Powerplay, and the accompanying soundtrack album, alongside The Eagles, Little Feat, and others. Bill formed Cat in the Hat Band with Caffrey in 2000, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the death of Jimi Hendrix, as a one off gig.
