Gloriator
In 2000 director Ridley Scott brought you Gladiator; an epic film of bravery, honour and sacrifice. Now, nearly fifteen years later, the world-renowned French actress Gloria Delaneuf and her UK tour manager Josephine Cunningham, bring you Gloriator; an awe-inspiring production of bravery, honour, and costumes made out of cardboard.
Russell Crowe may not be available and their budget is limited, but they are determined it will be a show you'll never forget
