THE journey of all journeys is coming to a stage near you.

The Odyssey is Greek stuff with the boring bits removed and is touring rural Dorset from February 16 to 26.

This magical piece of brand new theatre heads to Dorset from the creator of Great Expectations and Dracula, Dave Mynne.

A love story that lasts decades, the Odyssey is a journey to hell and back again featuring Gods, monsters, sirens, derring-dos and derring-dont's!

After two hugely popular tours with his take on Dickens’ Great Expectations and Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Cornish actor and co-founder of Kneehigh Theatre, Dave Mynne is returning to Dorset this spring through Artsreach, the counties arts charity who are supported by local solicitors Blanchards Bailey for 2017.

This time the immensely talented and versatile performer is tackling one of the epic poems by Greek author Homer’s, in an outstanding one-man performance titled The Odyssey: Greek Stuff!

Kerry Bartlett, Artsreach co-director said “Dave Mynne is quite simply an outstanding performer; his skill with just a few simple props, a rubber face and clear and concise storytelling never fails to entertain.”

With a ‘cast of thousands’ and may be a bit of water, there will certainly be a laugh or two! Early booking is highly advised. Suitable for adults and older children (12+)
