Olivier Winning Mischief Comedy Take First Musical On UK Tour In 2026!

Olivier and Tony Award winning theatre makers Mischief Comedy (The Play That Goes Wrong) launch their historic first musical with a UK tour, leaping into theatres from May 2026! Delving into the Ancient Greek origins of acting and plays, Thespians: Greece: The Musical is a hilarious and heartfelt glimpse into the past in Mischief's signature madcap style.

What Is The Story?

You'd think that 534BC was a simpler time. Not so much. Across Ancient Greece, a praying competition is being forced upon the populace by a cruel dictator, and the penalty for the loser is death. And on a small island, they're not doing well in the contest. But maybe their luck will change when Thespis accidentally comes up with a nifty new idea - acting! The first ever play will soon follow, forging the foundations of theatre. Ancient history has rarely felt so funny... or so unbelievable.
