Mythology meets real life in an epic piece of gig theatre

Four stories, one 12-track album. This is The Gods, The Gods, The Gods — a heady mix of big beats, heavy basslines, soaring melodies and spoken word by award-winning theatre-slash-music makers Wright&Grainger. 

This cult-hit creation follows two kids who meet dancing, a woman stargazing alone on a beach, a man in crisis, and gods of Greek mythology gathered for reckoning. It's returning to London for a strictly-limited two-week run, 10-21 September, as part of Underbelly Festival, which remains at Cavendish Square until the end of the month -- so now's your chance to join Wright&Grainger as they summon the ancient gods to love, to mourn and to hope.

The Gods, The Gods, The Gods won rave reviews during its sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe back in 2022 and in Australia last year, with critics calling it a "perfect piece of gig theatre" (British Theatre Guide, ★★★★) and "euphoric, incredibly powerful" (The Stage, ★★★★ ). If you're looking for a late summer culture fix, you won't find one more exhilarating than this. Hit the blue button to get tickets.
