12 April 2026
BAFTA award-winning Dame Siân Phillips leads audiences on a captivating journey through the drama, wit, and spirit of Ancient Greece in two unforgettable performances presented together for the first time. This event invites those with a passion for theatre and ancient narratives to explore the rich tapestry of Greek storytelling.
In Women & Troy, she is joined by Rachel Donovan (The Crown, Call the Midwife) as they delve into war-torn Troy and the story of the women who inhabit it. From Queen Hecuba and her prophetess-daughter Cassandra to Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world, what emerges is an intense story full of passion and humour.
In It’s All Greek, she joins BAFTA nominee Robert Powell (Jesus of Nazareth, Mahler) to give voice to timeless tales of love, laughter, and betrayal. Whatever life brings us, the ancient Greeks have the right words for it. As they navigate through youthful high jinks, adult chaos, and the preoccupations of old age, their wit and wisdom are a road map for our modern age.
Written and directed by David Stuttard, Siân Phillips: The Greeks brings myth to life with rare insight, passion, and grace, reminding us why these ancient voices still speak so clearly today.
