Our autumn theatre seson continues where you would least expect it - at the Olympics!
'The Olympians', a coming-of-age story that looks at themes of great relevance in today's world - immigration, class divide, body image and race -, is brought to our stage by Romanian-British trio Beatrice Ragea, Ioana Goga and Jez Davess-Humphrey. A fun and edgy show that strikes a chord in the individual conscience, the play will continue at London’s Tara Arts Centre and Kings Head Theatre.
The action is set in 1979, at the Belgrave Sporting Academy in South-West London. The qualification season for the biggest sporting competition in the world is about to start. Join Irina, Will, Carl and Cristina for one hour of their life as they are about to embark on the quest of obtaining the most acclaimed and desired medal in the sporting world, the Olympic medal. Secrets and intentions are revealed, friendships are broken, but more importantly this hour is one that could potentially shape the destinies of these four teenagers.
