Squashbox: Myths & Monsters

Myths & Monsters
by Squashbox Theatre
Saturday 23rd August at 2.30pm

FREE EVENT – No booking required

Where can you find a creature that is half eagle and half lion? Or one that is half horse, half fish? Or half lion, half goat and half snake?

Wait, that’s impossible… or is it?

Not in the crazy, mixed-up world of ancient Greek stories, it’s not!

Let Craig Johnson of Squashbox Theatre guide you through this strange, magical world, using a quirky and ingenious blend of puppetry, storytelling, live music and comedy – all presented in that unique Squashbox style! Meet the brave heroes and immortal gods of ancient Greece, such as Heracles, Odysseus, Perseus, Zeus and Aphrodite! Encounter some of the mixed-up monsters of legend, such as the Minotaur, the Harpies, the Cyclops and the terrifying gorgon, Medusa! Learn about the ways ancient Greece has shaped the modern world, from theatre and philosophy to mathematics and music!

We have consulted the mysterious Oracle of Delphi and seen the future: and we can guarantee that this will be legendary!
