Pick 'N' Myths

Onassis Programme

Greek myths with happy endings are the order of the day for Onassis Programme, who retell the classic stories in a clear and simple way. Using only minimal props and a few musical instruments, they transport us all around Ancient Greece and back again without ever leaving the stage. Nothing fancy here but they give a well thought-out performance that's guaranteed to get the little ones singing and giggling along... and some of the big ones too. Being only twenty-five minutes, this is charming pre-lunch fun - just long enough squeeze in a good chunk of interactive story-telling without losing anyone's attention. And at such a tiny price, you can take the whole clan without breaking the bank.

Pleasance Courtyard, dates vary, 11.30am (11.55am), , £3.00, fpp 17
