If life is work, then what is it to live forever?

Just ask the ancient Greek gods; the Great Flood may have wiped out most of humanity, but it also brought with it lot of paperwork!

4000 years later, with humanity reborn, the gods continue as they always have done – only to discover that they may be next on the chopping block.

When their karaoke night is derailed by an existential threat to their immortality, Olympians, demigods and every god in-between must suddenly scramble to survive.

A singing competition has been declared, with the winner guaranteed survival, but what are they really winning and are there other prizes to be found?

A divine mystery exploring life, death and the paths we choose between the two.

Macrobert Youth Theatre: Midnight Library
This surreal new play invites audiences into a hidden world within an ordinary library, and what begins as an innocent search for a book becomes a journey through shadow, wonder, and dread where escape is never certain, and the stories may consume more than you bargain for.
