(A Mythological Panto: A Tragedy)
Wed 26th Thurs 27th Fri 28th Sat 29th January 2011
Before the dawn of time, before life as we know it did walk this earth, before… well anything much really… was the time of the Gods!
And these Gods did rule over all creation with a great wrath until, they did defy the God of all Gods, The Mighty Zilla, and he was displeased with their disrespectful and woeful ways and he did take from the Gods their precious elements and he did banished them from this mortal plane!
What were they to do? How would they survive without their elements of which made up the very core of who they were?
Only one man could come to their aid and complete the treacherous and dangerous challenges that lay before him, that man was Troy…our hero!
Troy travels the perilous path to Paris to rescue his true love Helen, but on his journey he encounters some of the strangest mythological characters you are ever likely to meet in the most bizarre situations!
With Blag it’s usual collection of corny puns, songs (well almost) and film & music referenced humor, you will travel with us as we enter the mythical world of Troy Story!

REVIEWS
What The Echo said... Monday 1st February
Cheesy, pun-filled Greek odyssey with no obvious Achilles
With Troy Story, their self-styles mythological panto, Blag It! Theatre Company have taken the story of Helen of Troy and adapted it in their own inimitable way. It combined puns aplenty, film and music-referenced humor, jokes based on cheese, and double entendre that made it definitely not a family show. While very long, the show maintained its pace and carried the enthusiastic audience in its wake. Audience interaction was excellent, the players dealing with all interruptions with considerable aplomb. There were some clever touches. The use of multimedia was handled well and the Benny Hill-inspired film of building a Trojan horse went down a storm. And never again will we be able to accept We are the champions sung without Latin subtitles.
The players were obviously having immense fun. The production blagged its way into the audience’s affections
