ACHILLES IN HEELS

by Mark Bunyan

Landor Theatre, Clapham North
8 - 25 November 2006

 

The little known classical myth of how the Greek hero Achilles spent his childhood disguised as one of the daughters of King Lycomedes of Skyros, is the springboard for a riotous evening of cross-dressing, war-mongering and parental headache set to an eclectic score that reels in style from Motown to Britten under a Greek-holiday overlay of Mikos Theodorakis.

Is he a handsome hero -- or just a misunderstood myth?
