Le Navet Bete presents
Oh Zeus!
Kings of Comedy and Northcott panto collaborators Le Navet Bete are back! For lovers of Fawlty Towers, Bottom and The Play That Goes Wrong, Oh Zeus! is a riotous, all-out hilarious ride through Greek mythology.
When the stability of Olympus is threatened by the marriage of Zeus’s daughter Hebe to a mere mortal, the King of the Gods hatches a plan to derail the wedding. Three actors play 40 characters in this mythical farce through Ancient Greece, the Underworld and back. Expect sensational physical comedy, outrageous jokes, fast paced chaos, and more togas than you can smash a plate at.
In this brand-new show, one of the UK’s most-loved comedy theatre companies and creators of Dracula: The Bloody Truth, King Arthur and Treasure Island, have teamed up with one of the country’s best comedy writers and directors, Olivier Award nominated John Nicholson (The Time Machine: A Comedy), promising “a non-stop evening of entertainment from a company who have a bottomless pit of talent at their disposal” – York Mix
★★★★★ “I never wanted this show to end… hilarious!!” North West End on King Arthur 2024.
