Overview

When time’s ripe, let all the good things overflow.

BAFTA award-winning Dame Siân Phillips leads audiences on a captivating journey through the drama, wit, and spirit of Ancient Greece, in two unforgettable performances presented together for the first time.

In Women & Troy, she is joined by Rachel Donovan (The Crown, Call the Midwife) as they delve into war-torn Troy and the story of the women who inhabit it. From Queen Hecuba and her prophetess-daughter Cassandra to Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world, what emerges is an intense story full of passion and humour.

In It’s All Greek, she joins BAFTA nominee Robert Powell (Jesus of Nazareth, Mahler) to give voice to timeless tales of love, laughter, and betrayal. Whatever life brings us, the ancient Greeks have the right words for it. As they navigate through youthful high jinks, adult chaos, and the preoccupations of old age, their wit and wisdom are a road map for our modern age.

Directed by David StuttardSiân Phillips: The Greeks brings myth to life with rare insight, passion, and grace, and reminds us why these ancient voices still speak so clearly today.

Women & Troy will be performed at 3pm (60 minutes) and It’s All Greek at 5pm (95 minutes).
Book to see both shows for a discounted ticket price and immerse yourself in Ancient Greece with a company of our greatest actors for an unforgettable day.
