DINE LIKE A DEITY WITH BRAND NEW THEATRICAL DINING EXPERIENCE ‘DIVINE PROPORTIONS’

Guests will be led on an immersive journey through secret glittering tunnels, hidden doors and fragrant, floral corridors by their mercurial host Dionysus, and into a paradise of indulgence and entertainment. Ascending into the heart of heaven on earth, guests will be served five courses of heavenly cuisine. The menu takes inspiration from Greek mythology and rustic Mediterranean fair, with each specially-curated course reflecting a key figure from the myths of Ancient Greece. As the guests dine, the bacchanal will continue around them with a wild, kitsch and raunchy cabaret show featuring cameo appearances from other members of Mount Olympus, Persephone, Aphrodite and Eros to name a few.

Following dinner, guests will be transported to the depths of The Underworld. Upon entering, they will be greeted with cocktails and wine punch by Dionysus’ loyal followers and invited to indulge in a Dionysian disco atmosphere as they party like the God of Wine and Revelry.

The cast is made up of some of the most exciting names in contemporary theatre and cabaret. Former Roundhouse Resident Artists Helen White and East 15 Acting School graduate Leah Kirby will share the role of Dionysus, both having recently had successful shows at Edinburgh Fringe and performed at Soho Theatre, The National Theatre’s River Stage and Lyric Hammersmith amongst others.  The roles of Aphrodite and Persephone will be held by the award winning theatre-maker, writer, cabaret artist and goth Molly Beth Morossa and multi talented cabaret artist and award nominated showgirl Charlie Bouquett. The Maenads will be played by Rosy Pendlebury, Dajana Trtanj, Alana Bloom and Porscha Bennett-Skepple.

Looking ahead to September, Laura Drake Chambers, Founder and Creative Director of Shotgun Carousel and Creative Producer of Divine Proportions, said: “The world of Divine Proportions is the inclusive utopia we all dream of, and whilst the world still remains mythological, we’ll keep working our butts off to bring our dreamworld to life. It’s raunchy, sexy, unapologetically loud and if our audiences have as much fun experiencing this show as we’ve had creating it, we’ll have done Dionysus proud”.

Shotgun Carousel is a female led production company and multi-disciplinary performance collective.

Working out of London, we create bespoke performances and dazzling spectacles across the UK. From walkabout acts, hand-made puppetry or large-scale immersive performances, we let our imaginations lead as we explore magic and escapism in the modern world.

Our family of performers and visual artists create performances that are accessible, inclusive, comedic and macabre, embodied within an unwavering visual feast.

We are a dedicated and multi-talented group of performers and visual artists, designers and directors, events creators and producers, casting our collective eye over stages and spectacles in anywhere from Art Deco cinemas and underground bunkers, to secret speakeasies and festivals home and abroad.
