Travelling from North Yorkshire to Aotearoa via the sun: theatremaker Alexander Wright

For North Yorkshire’s Alexander Wright theatre making is a way of bringing together the very local with the much larger universe he believes we need to feel connected to.  In his latest touring show, with longtime collaborator musician Phil Grainger, Helios, the immensity of the sun is brought down to earth with the use by Wright as sole performer of little more than Grainger’s soundscape and a range of Ikea-bought lamps.
