STEPHEN FRY LIVE! 
in HEROES
In a live event to mark the publication of his brand new book Heroes
 Manchester The Bridgewater Hall 7th Nov 2018
London Hammersmith Eventim Apollo 11th & 13th Nov 2018

Heroes continues Stephen Fry’s vivid retelling of the Greek myths, which began with his bestselling book Mythos. These thrilling and racy tales of war, debauchery, revenge, love and jealousy have inspired artists and writers from Shakespeare to Michelangelo to  Marvel Comics.

Few mere mortals have ever embarked on such bold and heart-stirring adventures, overcome myriad monstrous perils, or outwitted scheming vengeful gods, quite as stylishly and triumphantly as Greek heroes. In this companion to his bestselling Mythos, Stephen Fry brilliantly retells the dramatic, funny, tragic and timeless tales of these heroic men and women in all their grit and glory.

Join Jason aboard the Argo as he quests for the Golden Fleece. See Atalanta - who was raised by bears - outrun any man, before being tricked with golden apples. Soldier through the twelve Labours of Heracles, shiver in terror under the stone-cold gaze of the dreaded Gorgon, Medusa, and witness wily Oedipus solve the riddle of the Sphinx. Filled with white-knuckle chases and twisted labyrinths, impossible puzzles and blood-curdling monsters, acts of base cowardice and genuine bravery, Heroes is the story of what we mortals are truly capable of - at our worst and at our very best.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to see the multi-award-winning comedian, actor, broadcaster, writer and raconteur live on stage in a one-man tour-de-force.

Each ticket includes a hardback copy of the new book (RRP £20.00) to be collected on the night. Stephen will be signing copies after the show. 

Much loved by the public and his peers, Stephen Fry is one of the most famous and influential cultural forces in the country, this is an opportunity to see the multi-award-winning comedian, actor, presenter, writer and raconteur on stage live in a one-man tour-de-force.

Heroes will be published on 1st November 2018 (Penguin/Michael Joseph).
