A lad heads off to kill a monster.
A boy falls out of the sky.

Two inextricably linked stories of hope and loss, wildly retold by internationally acclaimed ‘masters of storytelling’ (FourthWall). Wright&Grainger and Oliver Tilney reimagine two myths – the adrenaline fuelled Theseus & The Minotaur and the heartrending Daedalus & Icarus.

Presented by Wright&Grainger, Oliver Tilney, James Simon, Kevin O’Driscoll and Oliver Award-Winning Molly Morris.
