Hercules: The Panto at Lane Cove

He’s strong. He’s mighty. He’s a hero. He’s all-singing, all-dancing. And he’s in Lane Cove in November!

Hercules: the Panto plays in Lane Cove Theatre Company’s Performance Space at Longueville in Sydney’s North from 11 November, 2022.

​Bestowed with superhuman strength, a young mortal named Hercules sets out to prove himself a hero in the eyes of his father, the great god Zeus. Hercules is tricked by the hot-headed villain, Hades, who is secretly plotting to take over Mount Olympus. Hercules must choose between his legendary strength and his true love Megara. Only by learning a valuable lesson - that it’s not the size of your strength that counts but the strength of your heart - will Hercules save Mount Olympus and be proclaimed a hero.

Written by 20-year Lane Cove Theatre Company legend Sarah Jamari Edwards – honorary life member and veteran of 15 shows in every possible capacity, both front of stage and behind the scenes – musically directed by super-experienced (yet alarmingly young!) talent Aisha Herbert and directed by children’s show specialist Cameron Farnham (assisted by Alexei Belchenko), Hercules features a 25-strong cast of gifted local youth performers.

LCTC’s young players transport you to Athens, to the theatre of Dionysus for a classic tale with a healthy dose of twists and turns. Will Hercules find his true love? Will Medusa run a successful hair styling business? Will the King’s daughter marry a pop star? Confused? Head along and see HERCULES, The Panto, where it is promised that all will be revealed!
