(absurd-oh-kleez)
An improvised Greek Tragedy
Absurdocles is the greatest Greek Tragedy never told. This hour-long improvised comedy show explores the themes of love, loss, pride, power and the fraught relationships between humans and gods. Plus, just like ancient Greek god Gelos, it has the power to make you laugh. A lot.
No need to be a Classics scholar, though – the madcap characters, ingenious plots and general mayhem of Absurdocles are for everyone. All the audience needs to do is provide three simple suggestions and the cast will create a gripping tale culminating in an important yet nonsensical moral.
Entirely improvised, the show’s different every single time. You might see the god of toes tormenting a Woking-based CEO one night and a doomed love story between two mortal taxidermists the next. Whatever unfolds, it’ll be epic. Join us for an evening that’ll leave you feeling as high as Mount Olympus.
