His Roman Helmet by Louis Davenport

8pm Friday - One Night Only!

Have you ever slept with a Roman? No? Well, it seems this statue has. Watch as it comes to life to tell you about its life. During this hour-long show you will learn how he survived conquest by the Romans, triumphed in the most brutal gladiatorial games in history, and won the affection of an ambitious senator, hellbent on climbing the bloody ladder of power. This, of course, does not come without cost. In the Roman Empire, no victory is without blood, and we must all choose who pays for our survival…

His Roman Helmet is a powerful collision of politics and romance inspired by tender homoeroticism of Osmar Schindler's early 20th century work. If you enjoy intense, complex romantic relationships in period settings, such as in Brideshead Revisited, Fellow Travelers, or Heated Rivalry, then this show is for you.

All tickets include a £1 admin charge

Approx running time 60 minutes (no interval)
