About This Show

Written in 408 BC. The only surviving satyr play from Ancient Greece. It tells how the hero Odysseus, on his way home from the Trojan war, defeats the one-eyed cannibalistic giant Polyphemus with the help of some shipwrecked satyrs – the half-man, half-goat followers of Dionysos, god of wine and theatre – and their wine-loving “father,” Silenus. Thiasos brings this rarely-performed classic to life with vibrant song and dance drawn from the traditions of the Aegean and Mediterranean islands. There is heroism and suspense and plenty of earthy humour.
