In 1850 the small Shropshire village of Much
Wenlock hosted its very own 'Olympian Games'
an event that was an essential inspiration for
the modern Olympics that began 46 years later.
With London 2012 approaching this highly
acclaimed theatre company explore the Olympic
Games' unlikely UK roots in a dynamic and
delightful show, enjoyable for all ages.
Athletes and country sports combine with
wheelbarrow races and a competition for a bag
of team as the local community train for, and
compete in, this amazing annual event. The
butcher's wife practices her hammer throws
with un-plucked pheasants, the postman uses
letters and parcels to perfect his discus, the
school children (under the training of the strict
school mistress) will do their very best... The
whole Victorian household is going for gold!
