DOORS 6PM // SHOW STARTS 7:30PM

Internationally award winning modern re-telling of an ancient myth. 

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.

A story about life, and about the invisible monuments we build to it.
