About this show
Theatre Movement Bazaar returns with a modern Ancient Greek musical comedy set backstage at the Oracle of Delphi. Once the preeminent oracle, Delphi has lost patronage and needs money. Hope arrives with Imperial Secretaries from Rome, but the nefarious plans of the authoritarian Emperor throw the existence of the Oracle, and its retinue, into question. Will Delphi’s team bend the knee? Will loyalties fracture as fame and fortune beckon? Singing, dancing and mysterious vapours tell all. From the award-winning creators of Tiny Little Town. 'The gold standard in wry literary remakes' (LA Times).

What do you do when you’re the highest profile, ageless, prognosticating Temple of Apollo and the Romans are asking you to ring the changes?
I would recommend the show to anyone looking for a promising historical musical with a stellar cast, and equally fabulous costuming.
