LONDON'S HOME FOR IMMERSIVE THEATRE AND ALTERNATIVE ARTS
Ancient Grease
ANCIENT GREASE
A new immersive musical parody of Gods, glamour and grease olive oil.
Calling all you dishy Demi-Gods, you’re the ones that we want!
Welcome to Olympus Academy, a high-school where lessons are lustful, lube is essential, and grease is the dirtiest word. Term is about to begin, and this year graduating with the Gods won’t be the only climax.
The Alphas and Omegas are the studs of Olympus, but they’re going to need your help (and possibly a towel). After a fateful summer night, Zeus and Hera are destined to become star-crossed lovers - but when the Fates decide to make things rough, Hera will be forced to choose between Zeus’s thunderbolt and her own explosive desire.
As the Gods writhe and the nymphs jive; we invite you to rev your chariot and lose yourself to the swinging tunes of Ancient Grease. It's time to disobey The Fates and show them that integrity is the new sexy.
Packed with intoxicating songs, divine dance numbers, and a cast of celestial beings who burn brighter (and dirtier) than ever before. These Gods are behaving badly and they’re here to bring you the greasiest new musical in town.
Drop your togas at the door because, in Ancient Grease, the thunder always comes twice.
From the Producers of Stranger Sings, Mulan Rouge and a whole host of critically acclaimed, 5⭐productions.
