If you thought something funny happened on the way to the forum, wait until you hear what happened en route to the amphitheatre!
Mischief, the team behind the multi award-winning The Play That Goes Wrong, rewrite ancient history with their first musical comedy, Thespians.
Greece is the word. Ancient Greece to be specific. It's the year 534 BC and the entire country has been ravaged by a dreadful drought.
Thespis and his sister Poly live on the tiny island of Ikaria where nothing ever really happens, until the entire population (all five of them) are forced to head to Athens to compete in a deadly prayer competition. All hope is lost until Thespis stumbles upon something that will change the world forever.
This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere UK Tour, opening May 2026 at Mercury Theatre, Colchester.
