Wright & Grainger's, Helios. Winner of Summerhall's Lustrum Award, Edinburgh Fringe 2023.

A lad lives half way up a historic hill. A teenager is on a road trip to the city in a stolen car. A boy is driving a chariot, pulling the sun across the sky. A story about the son of the god of the sun, HELIOS transplants the Ancient Greek tale into a modern-day myth wound round the winding roads of rural England-and into the everyday living of a towering city. It’s a story about life, the invisible monuments we build to it, and the little things that leave big marks.

From ‘Masters of Storytelling’(FOURTHWALL) Wright & Grainger, HELIOS is the award-winning follow up to the internationally-acclaimed ORPHEUS,EURYDICE, and THE GODS THEGODS THE GODS. Join them in a little room with a tape player-and a delicate tale to tell.

Very cleverly involves the audience in an hour in which past and present, the ancient and the contemporary, lightness and darkness mingle
