Jason and the Argonauts take to the pitch
Play Under the Posts is a new idea from a Merseyside rugby club trying out the idea of staging family-friendly theatre at its ground.It all kicks off (geddit) at Firwood Waterloo Rugby Club on August 1, when Off the Ground Theatre will present their brand new production of Jason and the Argonauts.See how Jason uses all his strength and wit to evade the beastly Minotaur, how he and his gang avoid certain doom from the women on the Isle of Lemnos, and how they evade the lure from the enchanting sounds of the Sirens…and ultimately win in the quest for the Golden Fleece. Can Jason survive and return home to claim his right to the throne?This is the first time Firwood Waterloo Rugby Club have organised such an event. Club chairman Dave Raywood said: "We are very excited to be bringing Off The Ground to the club, I can highly recommend it as a night out for all the family and we are keen that as many people from Waterloo and Crosby area come so we can make this an annual event."A summer show packed full of song, sword fighting and heroic adventure across the sea, all you need to do is bring a picnic, something to sit on (no glass or umbrellas) and watch how the mighty Gods of Greece, Zeus and Hera, play with human lives to satisfy their own desires.Tickets can be bought in person at the Firwood Waterloo Rugby club, email admin@waterloorugby.com, or phone on 0151 924 4552. The show starts at 6.30pm on Friday, August 1.
