Pants on Fires latest actor-musician extravaganza relocates Ovids epic stories of miraculous transformation to 1940s wartime Britain. Theseus - a tormented soldier in a lost land, Narcissus - an iconic Hollywood film star, Echo a gossipy housewife who's digging for more than just victory and the Chorus - Andrews-like sisters finding close harmony amid cosmic chaos. Heroics, love, gods, monsters and the secrets of the universe revealed through gasmasks, gramophones, live original music and song, puppetry and film. Dynamic, magically moving and darkly comic storytelling. A change is going to comeIngenious (Guardian) the Purest of theatre (Metro London)www.pantsonfiretheatre.com
