Wright&Grainger’s ORPHEUS – 2026 Adelaide Fringe

Multi award winning Wright&Grainger return to Adelaide with their internationally acclaimed wild retelling of the ORPHEUS myth, like you’ve never seen it before. 

DAVE IS SINGLE, 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 650 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. It’s won multiple awards including:

Best Theatre (Fringeworld) 2018 
Best Music (Sydney Fringe) 2019
Beyond Words (Dunedin Fringe) 2019
Best Theatre (Adelaide Fringe) 2023
