Written by Jon Stickler
Stephen Fry has announced details of his first UK tour in nearly 40 years, Mythos: A Trilogy - Gods. Heroes. Men.
Directed by Tim Carroll and opening at the Edinburgh International Festival on August 19, the tour will also bring the writer, actor and comedian to the London Palladium, alongside performances in Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Oxford and Gateshead.
In each location Fry will perform a trilogy of loosely scripted plays, Gods, Heroes and Men, as a standalone production based on his vast knowledge of Greek mythology. Each show will see the national treasure invite the audience to help him choose which stories to tell, making each performance different from the last. They'll also constitute a sequence so that those who attend all three shows will follow a continuing story.
"I am shivering and quivering with excitement at the thought of a UK tour, taking the astounding stories and characters from Greek myth around the UK," said Fry. "Three different shows over three different nights: people can come to one, two or three evenings, but whichever they choose I hope will be as exciting for the them as I know it will be for me."
Tickets will go on sale at 9am on May 3.
