Shows for kids and adults
Taking place alongside a programme of free music and film screenings and free exercise classes, the festival now gives you the chance to catch a little culture after work or before an evening out on the town with the free theatre performances.

Greek myths retold
Two plays are showing as part of the free theatre at The Scoop season: Medea for the adults, and Jason and the Argonauts for the kids. The production of Medea is a specially commissined translation of Euripides' dramatic tale of revenge, retold by playwright Stella Duffy. Focusing on the love story of King Jason and Medea, the play retells the classic story as a celebrity marriage of modern times, amd touches on the themes of scandal, intrigue and the morality of vengeance.

Family shows
Keeping with the classical Greek theme, Jason and the Argonauts is written by Phil Willmott and is a new take on the traditional myth. A lively family musical, the show features comedy, puppetry, song and dance, as well as a smattering of science to hold children's attention. Jason and the Argonauts will delight and entertain all who see it as part of the free theatre at The Scoop over the summer.
