Ben Hur Live at the O2 Arena
Event: Ben Hur Live
Date: September 15th until September 19th
The story of Ben Hur is one which is famous the world over, however, the production coming to the stage at the O2 Arena in mid-September will be unlike anything fans of the tale have ever seen before.
Through the latest and greatest technology and engineering, audience members will feel like the oldest dream of mankind to go on a journey back in time is coming true.
By being held in a 360 degree arena, this famous story of vengeance, faith and redemption will be taken to the next level.
Judah Ben Hur, a young Jewish priest, is falsely accused of plotting to kill the Roman governor.
He turns to his good friend Messala for help but is dealt a crushing blow when he realises his companion has stabbed him in the back.
Judah is condemned to be a galley slave while his family are thrown in prison.
However, two men help him in his hour of need and he soon sets about exacting his revenge on his disloyal friend.
While engaged in a fearsome chariot battle with Messala, he realises that the forgiveness and compassion in his heart is stronger than any hate it holds.
Audience members will be gripped from beginning to end, with special effects and clever stage design bringing this classic tale to life in the most spectacular fashion.
Couples on a romantic break can make the whole experience even more memorable with a night at the luxury London hotel the 41.
With the Get More From Your Stay package, guests can enjoy a bottle of Laurent Perrier, strawberry afternoon tea, a romantic turndown with chocolate-dipped strawberries or a three-course table d'hote meal during their stay.
