HELIOS is on tour

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 top 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
