From the team behind The Play That Goes Wrong

MISCHIEF, the team behind the multi award-winning The Play That Goes Wrong, rewrite ancient
history with a brand-new musical comedy, THESPIANS, the first musical created by ‘the funniest
theatre troupe in Britain’ (The Telegraph).

534 BC. Greece’s smallest island is battling to avoid defeat in a nationwide prayer competition set up
by a thin-skinned tyrant - where the loser is put to death. All is going dreadfully until Thespis
accidentally invents acting, leading to the world’s first play and the origins of theatre as we know it!
Step into the amphitheatre, leave your troubles in the foyer, and escape into Ancient Greece as it
bursts into song, with a thrilling plot, a love story worthy of Aphrodite, and enough laughter to fill
the Acropolis. THESPIANS is an uplifting, hilarious, and timely reminder of the power of empathy and
stepping into someone else’s sandals.

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), do not miss
this ancient prescription for modern day laughter packed with comedy, chaos and choreography that
will have every mortal in your household aching with laughter.

If you thought something funny happened on the way to the forum, wait until you hear what happened
enroute to the amphitheatre!
