Maidens, Myths & Monsters

The debut of Nikita Gill’s mythological world Great Goddesses on stage. Olympus is falling and the time of the Gods is almost over. For millennia Hera sat on Olympus watching and waiting while her family fought, monsters were made and wars left their mark. She has been treated as a punchline to Zeus jokes for too long, but now she seeks her revenge.

Twelfth Night
When Viola washes up on the shores of Illyria, she witnesses the festivities first hand and is drawn into the schemes of the lovestruck Duke Orsino, and subjected to the antics of the anarchic Toby Belch. At first it’s all fun and games, but then things take a more serious turn… Twelfth Night exposes a world of love triangles, plotting drunkards and false identities. In the northern town of Illyria anything goes, especially on Twelfth Night.
