The Shodyssey

Assembleth Theatre

Producer

A comic romp through Ancient Greece

Troy – Something BC. A young bull herder accidently eats a golden apple. Three Goddesses aren’t happy. And then 10 years later a city burns.

Obviously, a lot happened in between these points and several important things happened before, all of which will be revealed for the first time in a millennium. Join Assembleth Theatre as they bring to life kings, queens, heroes, gods and monsters and take you on a journey through the Trojan War as you’ve never seen it before. The sort-of truth behind Achilles heel, the doorless wooden horse and more will be revealed as the history of one of the most important conflicts of the ancient world comes to life.

The Shodyssey was originally commissioned by New Model Theatre in conjunction with the Barbican Theatre Plymouth for performances in non-traditional spaces in Plymouth. It was named in British Theatre Guides top South West picks of 2017. The show was reworked as part of the company's associateship with Barbican Theatre Plymouth in 2021. It toured the South West in 2021 and nationally from 2022 - 2023.
