New Art Club present Hercules, a new family-friendly take on one of the classic tales of Greek mythology at Manchester Contact on October 29.
Pete Shenton and Tom Roden, described as the Morecambe and Wise of dance, are known for creating work that brings together the worlds of dance and comedy.
The show is co-produced in partnership by Dance4, New Art Club and Nottingham Playhouse and comes to Contact as part of a national tour.
Hercules recreates the story of the Greek myth for a 21st century audience, following the story of the 12 labours in cabaret style, with Pete as the unlikely superhero and Tom as the show’s frequently-confused compere.
The show also features specially selected community performers recruited and rehearsed for every venue in each town and city to recreate three of the 12 Herculean labours alongside New Art Club and the professional cast.
