THE GODS THE GODS THE GODS AT STORYHOUSE

Performed 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.

The 65-minute show weaves together 4 stories: 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. It’s a show about what we continually look for outside of ourselves, and what we might find in those people who surround us.

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

Opened in May 2017,  Storyhouse is a library, theatre, cinema, community hub, cultural centre and restaurant. Storyhouse had one million visits in its first year. The building was formally opened by Her Majesty the Queen and The Duchess of Sussex, on 14 June 2018.

The pioneering new library within Storyhouse, where members of the community work alongside city librarians, has the longest opening hours of any UK public library and is open every day until 11pm. Storyhouse offers over 2,000 activities each year for local marginalised groups, including autism friendly colouring sessions, sewing groups for refugees and regular classes for isolated and older communities.

The organisation houses a nationally-acclaimed theatre company with home-produced stage shows each year, including the first ever version of Enid Blyton’s The Secret Seven. Storyhouse also founded and runs the country’s most successful regional open-air theatre company, Grosvenor Park Open Air Theatre in the city’s main park, and an open-air cinema, Moonlight Flicks.
