Mythos: Ragnarök at Darlington Hippodrome

Famously dubbed as the “maddest, baddest show” of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival by the Daily Mail, this groundbreaking and cult-classic adaptation of ancient Norse mythology is finally giving its long-awaited tour of the UK. Mythos: Ragnarök blends historical storytelling with high-octane action to create a theatrical experience unlike any other, as Thor, Loki, Freyja and Odin and the Norse Gods must put their differences aside to build a new world and avoid a prophecy of impending doom. The Telegraph calls the resulting chaos “the perfect way to tell this story” as a cast of professional wrestlers bring Gods and monsters to life in “a knockout spectacle”. One of the UK’s best examples of fierce independent theatre, Mythos: Ragnarök is written, produced and funded by the same actors who perform it. You don’t need to know or like anything about the subject matter to understand and adore the show, or appreciate the sheer passion and ability of the performers – doing something that has never, ever been done before in theatre.
