Stephen Fry is coming to Liverpool's Philharmonic Hall on his first UK tour for nearly 40 years

Stephen Fry will embark on his first UK tour for nearly 40 years this summer - including three dates at Liverpool's Philharmonic Hall,

Mythos: A Trilogy - Gods. Heroes. Men is opening at the Edinburgh International Festival in August before also heading to Salford, Birmingham, London, Oxford and Gateshead.

The trilogy of plays will see the national treasures telling some of the most renowned stories about Greek Gods, Heroes and Men.

Stephen Fry said: “I am shivering and quivering with excitement at the thought of a UK tour, taking the astounding stories and characters from Greek myth around the UK.

“Three different shows over three different nights. People can come to one, two or three evenings, but whichever they choose I hope will be as exciting for the them as I know it will be for me.”

While the three Mythos productions each stand alone, they also constitute a sequence so that those who attend all three will follow a continuing story.

Audiences are expected to laugh-out loud and be ‘mind-blown’ by the production.
