About this show
The Olympians have won the war with the Titans. The cosmos is theirs. Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hermes and Athena find themselves in the uncomfortable position of organising everything. Roles must be chosen, leaders must be appointed, worlds must be created and cared for – this is not what they signed up for. Egos clash, relationships are stretched thin, and the Earth is in peril from day one. The universe might be doomed before it’s even begun.

Fast, silly and knowingly absurd, It’s Always Sunny on Olympus gives Greek mythology a thoroughly entertaining modern makeover.

Great topical references, it's a good job the Scots have a sense of humour. Including serious ideas of leadership, parenthood and achieving maturity, this play succeeds on many levels. But mainly, it's very funny.
