Wright&Grainger's ORPHEUS
Multi award winning Wright&Grainger return to Perth with their internationally acclaimed wild retelling of the ORPHEUS myth.
Dave is single. He’s stood at the bar.
Eurydice is a tree nymph.
And Bruce Springsteen is on the juke box.
A story of side streets, dive bars and how far you'd go for the person you love.
Since its creation in 2016, ORPHEUS has played over 600 shows around the world - in festivals, cafes, gardens, railways arches, bars, tents, churches, yoga studios, boats, record shops, breweries, loft apartments and very occasionally, a theatre.
And now it's back in Perth for a handful of packed out shows.

Wright&Grainger are from the fields and lanes of rural North Yorkshire in the UK. They tour the world with their wild retellings of ancient stories. They’d toured across the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Bali, India and transferred their shows Off Broadway.
Their shows include ORPHEUS, HELIOS, EURYDICE, THE GODS THE GODS THE GODS, GRANDPA POSEIDON and HALF MAN || HALF BULL.
Wright&Grainger are Al & Phil, two pals who started playing gigs together at school. And who, over 20 years later, are still doing that.
