Come on in to the Sky High Diner, nestled at the very peak of Mount Olympus. You will be served by the young Olympians; bored, restless and eager to spread their wings and become the powerful Gods they are longing to be. The gang is led by the sparky 16 year old Zeus; heir to Mount Olympus who is often eclipsed by his tyrannical father King Cronos and two older brothers, Hades and Poseidon. Zeus spends his days following his father’s orders and preparing to one day take over the Kingdom, but is often distracted by childhood sweetheart Io… a mortal.
Can the little Lightning Boy truly ascend to the all-powerful being he is destined to be? Or will his heart’s desire create an electrical storm big enough to change the course of history forever?



Overture is an exciting new musical theatre development scheme led by Burnt Lemon Theatre and The REcreate Agency in partnership with The Other Palace, Birmingham Hippodrome, Sheffield Theatres, MAST Mayflower Southampton, The Hope Mill, Warwick Arts Centre and China Plate.
Overture’s aims are to develop the skills and practises of underrepresented Musical Theatre writing teams across the UK, whilst building relationships with venues and other leading UK talent.

"Are these women more than just victims? They are facing a man who will never come face to face with his actions. It seems that day after day stories about powerful men appear in the news, due to their abuse, mistreatment, and manipulation. "Anomalia" comes to show this universe and more. It reaches the bone of pain."
"An excellent staging of this impressive dramatic text by Liv Warden"

"Times are changing. Survivors are speaking out, standing up, admitting things they had long since buried for the sake of themselves, their families, their careers. Many female theatre makers are pleading with men like Mamet and Berkoff – let us have this one. It’s not your time. Not yet anyway."
"Liv Warden is a talent to watch."

"You can't help but think that a female voice on the subject would be more appropriate; Liv Warden's Anomaly earlier this year, for example, explored the effects that the uncovering of this kind of predatory behaviour had on the mogul's daughters - a fresh and unexpected perspective told with great focus. By contrast, Bitter Wheat lacks clarity and intent."

"... For this play, though, the signs look good. The writer, Liv Warden, has been coached by both Soho Theatre and The National. ...This one is the outside bet."

“Liv Warden’s script is fantastic, fizzling with energy, ideas and freshness. Her focus on her female characters is laser sharp.”
