What happens when a glamourous French actress and her hapless assistant stage their own version of Hollywood blockbuster Gladiator..? Span Arts delivers a special treat for audiences this month - the wildly eccentric Gloriator will be performed at Llawhaden Hall, Llawhaden, next Friday, November 11.

Gloria Delaneuf is well-versed in mime, mask, and the mysteries of stage-craft. 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.

Wonderfully inventive, physical, and very silly, Gloriator was created by French/English female comedy double act Spitz & Co with the help of Angus Barr (Publick Transport) and Aitor Basauri (Spymonkey). It won the Critics Choice Award at Exeter Ignite, and was developed with support from Arts Council England and Bristol Old Vic Ferment.

Expect a unique evening of eccentric, high energy clowning and comedy, the like of which won’t be forgotten easily.
