Wonder Women of the Ancient World – Atalanta
Atalanta is the second in our Wonder Women of the Ancient World series, after Ariadne and tells the story of a young girl brought up by bears, who undergoes many trials as she returns to her family, from joining Jason’s voyages on the legendary Argo, to killing the vicious Kalydonian Boar! This series revisits ancient Greek myth from the perspective of unsung heroines and tells their stories in an engaging, imaginative and immersive way.
Written by Lucy Ruddiman who also performed the title role, the show also featured Mark Katz in a variety of roles and was an interactive family experience for ages 4 and upwards. It performed at Brighton Fringe and thereafter at Elderflower Fields Family Festival in the Ashdown Forest in Sussex.
If you are interested in booking this show for a children’s festival or other performance opportunity please get in touch.

Engaging, amusing, enjoyable. It was a good message for our little girls about female heroes. I loved the Al Pacino Argonauts sketch. It was great that the kids got to volunteer.
