Love, Betrayal, Incest, Pigs? Hard to tell what awaits in these Greek myths.
How do you cover all of Greek mythology in an hour? You don't, but you can watch a Greek/Australian man try, as he flounders about and marvels at just how much of a pig his forebears could be.
From how the first woman came to be (which CLEARLY ruined everything), to discovering how men are literally pigs, while petty gods watch on with a bowl of popcorn, this show tip toes through the problematic quagmire of Greek mythology with all the poise and grace of a drunken seal doing ballet.
These stories are littered with problems and Kieran is trying to make sense of this as a cis Greek man in 2025 (and trying to have a little fun doing it). Zeus may be toxic, but Kieran doesn't want to be. With some help and a little direction from Emma, let's see what happens!
These bedtime stories for adults are a silly and fun new way to experience some the oldest tales in Western tradition, whether they are old or new to you.
Come along and experience an experience unlike anything you've experienced!
"A good story, and well told" - Shaun Micallef, about things in no way related to this show.
