The Yurt provides the perfect setting for Wright&Grainger’s Helios, a modern-day retelling of the classic myth. Set in rural north Yorkshire, Alex Wright’s penchant for performance storytelling and poetry are inescapable as you find yourself sucked into a world of youthful pride, love and loss. This vibrant mythos is informed by an ancient sense of ritual, and hearkens back to the earliest times of stories, situated around a campfire in the dark. These old tales teach us lessons, and Wright&Grainger want to take these lessons and shine a ray of sun on them. This searing production sets alight the old story of Phaethon’s hubris and reinvigorates it around a young boy desperate to find his way in the backroads maze of pastoral England. Another must-watch for this year’s Fringe.
