Chester Performs presents:
Hercules
A Riotous Romp for all ages 7+
@ Grosvenor Park Open Air Theatre
Hercules – a new play by Helen Eastman
Directed by Alex Clifton | Designed by Takis | Music by Alex Silverman
To do list:
1. slay lion
2. clean stables
3. avoid queen of the Amazons
4. cheat death (again)
…Hercules is not having a good day. If only his father, Zeus could see beyond his earthly shortcomings…
Not the most organised of super heroes and a bit of a disaster zone, our Hercules is a powerful force of nature.
He doesn’t know his own strength, but maybe that’s what makes him (half) human after all!
An uproarious adventure through Hercules’ loves and labours – monsters, magicians, music and mayhem – a carnival for all the family.
n.b. Our productions are simply staged and beautiful to look at, highly physical and suitable for all ages.
Even if your children are too young for Shakespeare, they’ll certainly love our hero Hercules…
There are 8 performances a week, including 2.00pm matinees on Thursdays and Saturdays, and a tea time special on a Sunday at 5.00pm.
Tickets from £10 – £18, subject to change according to demand
About Grosvenor Park Open Air Theatre:
“We are transforming the park into one of the most wonderful theatre settings you can imagine!
Some of the country’s best directors and actors are creating a brand new professional summer theatre company which we hope and expect will achieve national acclaim for this new venture in Chester.
We have designed and built a new, unique (and very ecological!) new theatre space which is a combination of picnic spaces and terrace seating.
You can eat and drink in both areas, but with the picnic spaces you can bring your own deckchairs and blankets.
For the terraces you need to bring a cushion, or you can hire one from us!”
