What's on in London: When Atlas Met Tantalus
We go behind-the-scenes with writer/director Tiff Milner.
When Atlas Met Tantalus is a new theatre production from Tiff Milner of Great Egg Theatre Company.
What's it about?
1897. A parlour in Victorian London. Two men trapped together, facing a secret that will change their lives forever
James and Edwin are worlds apart. But when they find themselves unexpectedly entwined by a twist of fate, they must face their similarities and the secrets they keep – from each other, and from themselves.
The clock of history is ticking.
What themes is the play exploring?
When Atlas Met Tantalus explores issues of queer identity, community, public outing and the way that history shapes our present.
Behind-the-scenes
Tiff Milner was recently a guest on our podcast, How To Date Men.
In the conversation, we talk Greek Mythology, dramatic tension, and why creating theatre is like surviving the Hunger Games.
When Atlas Met Tantalus will run from 4-8 June at the Lion & Unicorn Theatre and then from 11-15 June at the Bridge House Theatre - tickets can be booked through the website for the production.
