Gods of Salford

In their 25th year, Lowry celebrate the trailblazers, dream chasers and change makers who have been part of our story so far and will undoubtedly shape our future, the inspirational young people in our city.
GODS OF SALFORD is a Lowry Commission with Not Too Tame theatre company known for its high-octane, heart-on-sleeve storytelling—this production brings together 25 young people from Salford to create a daring, high-energy theatrical adventure that reimagines Greek myths through the lens of Salford’s working-class spirit.
Step into a world where ancient myths collide with the modern streets of Salford. GODS OF SALFORD, reimagines Greek mythology as raucous, heartfelt tales of working-class defiance and resilience. This electrifying theatrical journey follows a group of young Olympians who dare to rewrite their destinies, confronting the gods who seek to control their lives.
Blending mythic storytelling with real stories from local young people and communities, it promises a bold, unapologetic celebration of resilience, identity, and creative power. With a creative process that breaks down traditional barriers the production will unleash untapped talent and transform lived experiences into a dynamic, high-quality show.
This is more than theatre, it’s our values in action; championing creative potential, tackling social inequality head-on, and forging pathways into the arts. It’s theatre that ignites possibility, inspires action, and reclaims the stage for Salford’s next generation of storytellers.
