Product Information

This talented, young company is providing the kind of quality fringe theatre usually absent from South London’s SW postcodes. As a group of theatre makers coming together creatively, our work is always collaborative, always an experiment, always evolving.

That said, the 12 labours of Hercules is more a simple, brief retelling of the events rather than an examination of derivatives like many other chapters in the book, which is a shame, in my opinion, because it means that it appeals to a different audience.

It has also been linked to Jehovah, a form of the Hebrew name of God used in some translations of the Bible.
