Wright&Grainger’s HELIOS
A STORY ABOUT THE SON OF THE GOD OF THE SUN
Written and created by Alexander Wright & Phil Clive Grainger.
Performed by Alexander Wright.
A lad lives halfway 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 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 is 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& Granger, HELIOS is the award-winning follow-up to the internationally-acclaimed ORPHEUS, EURIDYCE and THE GODS THE GODS THE GODS. Join them in a little room with a tape player - and a delicate tale to tell.
