Ben-Hur rides again as breathtaking gladiator fights are performed for live audiences
“Chariots race around a huge arena at break-neck speed… a vast Roman army wields swords and spears… two gladiators fight to the death.
“Yet this is no scene from ancient Rome but a version of the Ben-Hur story, taking place in the very modern setting of London’s O2 Arena.
“The 90-minute performance is the most ambitious telling of the story since the Oscar-winning 1959 movie of the same name, which starred Charlton Heston.”
