Two men pose against a bright blue background: one smiling while holding a worn acoustic guitar with a rainbow strap, the other looking down at an open notebook while wearing a red-and-green checkered outfit.

A performer with a guitar approaches the stage while another person in a sleeveless shirt and hat stands in the foreground holding a bottle. An acoustic guitar lies on the ground between them, with an audience seated on both sides.

Two performers laugh mid-act—one holding a book out playfully toward the other, who plays a guitar.

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.
