The Burnt City
A mythical world of Gods and mortals rises from the ashes
“AS THE SMOKE SOARS ON WINGS TO HEAVEN, SO SINKS OUR CITY” In the smouldering promise of the fall of Troy, a mythical world of Gods and mortals rises from the ashes. As Greece teeters on the brink of victory, the neon backstreets of Downtown Troy give way to a sprawling labyrinth hiding secrets even the prophecies could not foretell. In this colossal playground, the furies watch on as mortals play out their fate. And as night falls, the city comes alive. One last time. Running Time: The performance lasts up to three hours and there are six entry times. Early slots are recommended for those who want the maximum amount of time to explore. Age Restrictions: This production is suitable for ages 16+. There will be no admittance to anyone who, if asked, cannot provide photographic ID proving that they are over 16. Guests aged 16 and 17 must be accompanied by a responsible guardian. The Box Office will issue a lanyard which they must wear during their visit to be identified to performers and staff. There is a bar that features as part of the performance, which under 18s can visit only in the company of their parent or guardian. Please note this production contains nudity and scenes that some may find distressing. The safety of our audience and staff is of paramount importance. As the production opens in March 2022, we are closely monitoring the situation and the most up-to-date information will be sent to all ticket holders ahead of their arrival.
