What's OnTheatreThe Lowry Theatre and Arts CentreMEN's Miranda Pell reviews Oh Zeus! at The Lowry06:40, 29 Jul 2026It's the story of Zeus, but not like you've ever seen or heard it before. What happens when Greek mythology collides with a three-person ensemble playing a whopping 30 characters? What you get is two hours of pure silliness and laughter fuel that will take you out of the real world for an evening of surreal, fever-dream entertainment.‌Co-written and directed by John Nicholson, known for the Olivier-nominated The Time Machine, the story of Oh Zeus! begins when the King of Gods becomes threatened by the engagement of his daughter Hebe to a mortal (Zeus doesn't like mortals). To protect himself, the God of Thunder must hatch a plan to derail the wedding and protect his ranking.‌H
