Commissioned by Lowry and co-created with acclaimed theatre company Not Too Tame, known for breaking boundaries and championing working-class voices, GODS OF SALFORD will have its world premiere production in the Quays Theatre at Lowry playing two performances only on Tuesday 29th and Wednesday 30th April 2025.
GODS OF SALFORD brings 25 young people from the city together with three professional actors for a high-energy, theatrical adventure that reimagines Greek myths through the lens of Salford’s working-class spirit. More young people from the city will work behind the scenes, gaining hands-on experience in technical and backstage roles.
GODS OF SALFORD blends ancient legend with real stories from local communities. It’s a bold celebration of resilience, identity, and raw creative power.
Step into a world where myth meets modern-day Salford. A group of young Olympians rise up to challenge the gods trying to shape their fate. It’s urgent, electric, and not to be missed. This is immersive theatre that sparks ideas, fuels ambition, and puts the future of Salford’s storytelling centre stage.
GODS OF SALFORD is part of The Lowry’s 25th Anniversary celebrations—marking a commitment to creativity, opportunity, and making the arts available to everyone.
Julia Fawcett O.B.E., Chief Executive of Lowry, said:
“Gods of Salford will celebrate the trailblazers and changemakers who have been part of our story so far – and who will undoubtedly help shape our future – the inspirational and talented young people in our city. This commissioned new work is going to showcase both the wealth of talent Salford’s young people have and Lowry’s role in the development of it. We are so pleased to be uniting with Not Too Tame to bring this new work to life, and know this exciting partnership will result in a dynamic piece of theatre that is worthy of our 25th year, our diverse and dynamic theatre programme and the young people of Salford.”
