The Trojan War at Riverside Theatres

Five flirtatious “French” performers greet you at the door. They bring you in, show you to your seat, charm you, flirt with you – perhaps even fall in love with you. Then, together, you tell a story – the legendary fall of Troy reimagined in a wild, witty, and wonderfully chaotic fashion.

Like a high-energy dress-up party, The Trojan War combines classical mythology with modern absurdity in a style reminiscent of Monty Python meets The Mighty Boosh. The result? A hilarious and frenzied theatrical experience that finds unexpected and uncanny parallels between the epic battles of ancient Greece and the chaos of the present day.

This fast-paced, interactive production brims with irreverent humour, electrifying physicality, and theatrical mischief. Audiences are swept up in a whirlwind of comedic storytelling, clever improvisation, and an infectious sense of play.
