Our play is inspired by the movie 300, which is inspired by the last stand of the Spartan Army against the Persians at the battle of Thermopylae. We have tryed to adapt all of the legend, with the movie, as well as our own spin on the story, incorporating more modern music and lighter, somewhat funny content.
