Alexander’s Feast is the “vivid story” of a banquet held by Alexnader the Great along with his mistress Thaïs, in the Persian city of Persepolis which he had conquered. Timotheus, as the musician, both sings and plays his music, and in doing so, “stirs a cascade of emotion” from Alexander the Great, which include love and pride, as well as fury. It ultimately results in him burning the city as a revenge for fallen Greek soldiers.

Tickets are £17, or £8.50 for under-18s, and are available now. You can book online or call 0333 666 3366.
