Event Description

Two kids meet out dancing, they’re set to fall hard.
A woman is on a beach, alone at night, looking at the stars.
A bloke is on a bridge, thinking about jumping, just before dark.
And the old gods are gathering for a reckoning to start.

Performed live as a 12-track album, The Gods The Gods The Gods is an exhilarating weave of big beats, heavy basslines, soaring melodies and heart-stopping spoken word. It’s a show about what we continually look for outside of ourselves, and what we might find in the people who surround us.

The Gods The Gods The Gods is the third show in the internationally acclaimed series of Myths from Wright&Grainger. Following their multi-award winning tellings of Orpheus and Eurydice, Wright&Grainger call us to the crossroads where mythology meets real life.
