Gloriator

‘Gloriator’ for Stade Saturday

This Saturday this riotously funny show will be revealing just what happens when a glamorous French actress and her hapless assistant stage their version of the Hollywood blockbuster, Gladiator, called Gloriator. The council’s media office provides the background.

Gloria Delaneuf is well-versed in mime, mask and the mysteries of stagecraft. Her UK tour manager, Josephine Cunningham is not. Together they have created Gloriator – an awe-inspiring production of bravery, honour and costumes made out of cardboard.

Russell Crowe may not be available, but they are determined it will be a show you’ll never forget.

Cllr Dawn Poole the council’s lead member for culture said: “This will be another great FREE event hosted by the council for residents and visitors to Hastings as part of the Stade Saturdays programme.

“There will be two performances of Gloriator at the Stade Open Space on Saturday 18 June; the first at 5.30pm and the second 7.30pm.

“So if you’re up for a laugh come along, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed!”

Wonderfully inventive, physical, and very silly, Gloriator was created by French/English female comedy duo, Spitz & Co, with the help of Spymonkey’s Aitor Basauri and Publick Transport’s Angus Barr.

It won the Critics’ Choice Award at Exeter Ignite in 2014 and was developed with support from the Arts Council England and Bristol Old Vic’s Ferment.
