IF you are a fan of the wonderful Natalie Haynes and her standing up for the classic radio shows, the names Zeus, Hera, Aphrodite, Artemis, Apollo et al are probably familiar. This autumn, the West Country’s favourite comedy theatre company takes up the challenge … but have Living Spit bitten off more than they can chew? Find out at a venue near you, starting at their home base, The Theatre Shop at Clevedon, from 29th September to 11th October.

When two members of Living Spit are overheard bragging about how good they are, Zeus, up there on Olympus, is enraged by their hubris and decides to teach them a lesson –join them as they bring Too Many Greek Myths to Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire, and find out how the king of the Greek gods punishes them!

Zeus sets them a Herculean challenge – to squeeze 20 of the greatest Ancient Greek myths into one chaotic, side-splitting show!

Join Living Spit as they tackle everything from Hades to Heracles, Midas to Medusa, with their trademark blend of hare-brained humour, questionable wigs and a total disregard for historical accuracy.

Can they conquer the labyrinth of legends before time runs out? Or will the gods have the last laugh? Prepare for a mythological marathon-Living Spit style!   Warning: May contain togas, ridiculous puns and possibly an overworked Trojan Horse.

Too Many Greek Myths is at Living Spit’s home base, The Theatre Shop in Clevedon, from 29th September to 11th October, and then on tour, with Artsreach in Dorset at Swanage’s Mowlem Theatre on Monday 13th October and Halstock village hall on Wednesday 15th, at Dorchester Corn Exchange with Dorchester Arts on Tuesday 14th, the Marine Theatre, Lyme Regis, on Thursday 16th, the Exchange at Sturminster Newton on 17th and 18th, the Blakehay Theatre at Weston-super-Mare on 23rd to 25th, and Bristol’s Tobacco Factory Theatres from 27th October to 1st November. They are back in Dorset at Bridport Arts Centre on Monday 3rd November, in Wiltshire at Malmesbury Live Arts on 6th November, Pound Arts at Corsham on 7th, and the tour ends at Salisbury Arts Centre on 14th and 15th November. All these dates are, of course, subject to the whim of the gods …
