“Two years ago, I found a videotape in my loft. On it: one and a half films, one quiz show and two sit-coms. Somehow, it became the story of my life” (Ross Sutherland)

After a hard-drive crash and a near death experience, Ross Sutherland found himself house-bound with only one thing for company: an old videotape that once belonged to his granddad.

Aristophanes’ Frogs

Event Date: 
14/04/2015 - 8:00pm
Venue: 
Clifford Room, Barnfield Theatre, Exeter

Hecate Theatre Company

A brand new adaptation of Aristophanes’ zany comedy about summoning dead playwrights to settle a divine score. Join the god of drama, Dionysus, on a journey to the Underworld to spark rivalry, ribbiting and an epic battle of wits. Hecate Theatre’s Frogs is an all-female take on this bonkers Greek classic. Featuring a literary smack-down between William Shakespeare and Jane Austen, plus a quirky choral soundtrack, Hecate create an eerie post-apocalyptic world in which the grotesque “frogs” tell their story as an ensemble cast of five females.
