An all-woman cast has been announced for the eagerly anticipated world premiere of Sisyphus: A Rock 'n' Roll Musical, a brand-new musical written and directed by Ian Bowkett (The Sam Neill Experience), which plays at Canal Café Theatre, October 6-9th.

This new piece of UK musical theatre writing retells the Ancient Greek myth of Sisyphus, a Corinthian king who teams up with his divine wife Merope to defy the powers-that-be, eventually earning the eternal punishments that make them icons of rebellion for millennia to come.

This piece – a modern take on the Ancient Greek myth about the man who rebelled against the gods, only to receive the infamous punishment of having to push a boulder up a hill over and over again for eternity – will play four debut performances at Canal Café Theatre in Little Venice, London, Wednesday 6th to Saturday 9th of October, 2021.

The movie stars an ensemble cast including Julia Sarah Stone (Allure), Morgan Kohan (Star Trek Discovery), Brittany Bristow (Good Witch), Tymika Tafari (Murdoch Mysteries), and Kyla Young (Alias Grace).
