Mythological Theatre
We keeps myths and legends alive by combining storytelling, theatre and stage combat in ways that have never been done before.
“The perfect way to tell this story”
- - The Telegraph
“If ever there were a way to tell such an epic story it is through professional wrestling”
- - Broadway World
“Gamester may well be right to consider this show the closest modern equivalent to the originals.”
- - EdFringe Review
Professional wrestling is one of the most recognisable yet least understood performance arts in the world. Considered a ‘fake sport’ or a low form of entertainment, it has always been kept out of a theatrical setting - until now.
We create shows that combine the narrative plot of theatre with the interactive style of storytelling and the spectacular action of wrestling. Our show are not about wrestling; they use wrestling and wrestlers to create theatre experiences like no other.

Ed Gamester
Writer, Director, Producer
After 20 years in the performance industry, Ed set out to combine his experiences as a writer, wrestler and stunt performer into a stage show like nothing seen before. To achieve this he had to assemble a uniquely talented and dedicated company of actors: the result is Mythos: Ragnarök, which rose from a lecture theatre at Edinburgh Fringe to the Royal Theatre of The Netherlands in just two years.
