An original Greek myth wrought for the stage, filled with wit, heart, intensity... and lots of wine.
In a bar late at night, Dionysus celebrates his last day as a mortal, on his way to becoming a god. But his revelry is interrupted when he meets Apollo, on his last day as a god, on his way to becoming a mortal. In one chaos filled hour, the pair bicker, reveal deeply concealed feelings, drink, dance, and discuss two big questions: is it better to be a god? Or is it better to be a mortal?
A two-man play rich with character, 'Ascension' invites you to become part of the story world as Dionysus' followers, joining him to celebrate his ascension to divinity.
Experience one unforgettable night of theatre, as we welcome any and all to bear witness to this clash of gods. To bear witness... to the ascension.
