Mythos: Ragnarok

As a non-wrestling person, I came in skeptical. But I loved it! The actors were having a ton of fun and the storytelling kept me engaged.

The acting and storytelling is so well done that, by the end, the audience were willing the characters to fight each other because they cared and wanted to see their favourite character achieve victory.

Absolutely fantastic! The performers were equally skilled at acting and wrestling and the production value was wildly impressive, especially the lights and sound. An excellently well-done show. You’ve never seen anything like it and you’ll kick yourself for missing it!

Unconventionally fun. I'm not a fan of wrestling or its sport/act, but this piece had a story that was pretty entertaining. It's raw and unpolished, but that was the thrill. I could feel their passion for this show and the sport as well. And the guy who played Odin: mammamia...

The most impressive show I've seen so far at the Fringe. The script, the skill, the costume, the sound and light design all work so well! Was not a fan of wrestling before but turns out storytelling wrestling about my favourite Norse myths is an excellent gateway!

Norse mythology, a fun script, professional wrestling, an exuberant cast who love what they do. What isn't there to love with this? Come to the mighty battle and be prepared to holler for Odin.

These folks work very hard to entertain you and they succeed. There's a bit of something in there for most; wrestling, storytelling, myths&legends, stage combat etc. The use of sound and lighting was fabulous for setting the atmosphere (so shout out to the tech team).
I hadn't heard of this show until 20 minutes before we walked through the doors (which I'm very glad we did). A showcase of skills that blends the talents of the group together very well. Some of the actors are more at home with their characters than others but the whole team pulls together to create a gripping and athletic performance. If you're looking for something a little different in your fringe line up then this could be it. It's not polished, it's not perfect but it is bold, brave and, I must say- really quite brilliant. Catch this show while you can. The God's (and Goddesses) are on top form; ice & Fire.

One of the best shows I've seen at this year's fringe. The athleticism, acting and storytelling are superb. I was captivated for the whole show. I'm not a fan of pro-wrestling but this works amazingly well. The audience gave it the longest ovation of any show I've been to and rightfully so. We sat close to the front and we could feel every slam, brilliant. 5 stars.

The use of Wrestling to bring alive the Norse Myths WORKS in that unexpected way of food combos that don’t sound like they should go together but absolutely 100% do once you’ve tried it - like watermelon and feta cheese or French fries and a Chocolate Milk Shake. The actors love what they are doing on stage and it infects even the most uninterested in either wrestling or Norse mythology. This show is artistry. This is Fringe.

A tour de force in creative storytelling. Seemingly Earth-shattering fights and moves that elicited audible gasps from the audience. But the moments of quiet and conversation brought out the gravitas and skill of each actor deserves equal praise for. Amazing changes to the mythology to truncate the story which worked really well, as well as fleeting mentions to events that people who know them will love. Would recommend to anyone.

This show fell short for me. Although I’m not a wrestling fan, other reviews suggested that wouldn’t matter. However, I think you really do need to enjoy wrestling to appreciate this. I left before it ended, which is something I rarely do. 2.5/5 stars.

A dramatic and thoroughly entertaining show where the performers show an impressive level of athleticism and skill. The narrative through-line of the myths provides an accessible entry point for wrestling newbies like myself - it's well worth checking out, even if wrestling isn't your thing. 5/5 stars.

It's fantastic! The story is very engaging and the cast works extremely well together. The wrestling moves are spectacular!

A fun, engaging and surprisingly moving look at Norse mythology through wrestling. Sometimes "passion project" is a backhanded compliment, but here I mean it with full sincerity. You can tell the love that went into the whole production from the ground up.

Norse Mythology by way of wrestling, which is as amazing as it sounds! The show's creator is exceptionally good as Loki, but all the characters were a joy to watch. Prepare yourself to cheer and chant as you witness Ragnarok!

Wow, great fun! Awesome combination of theatre and thrilling wrestling, and laughs.

Um, probably the best show at the Fringe right now. Holy moley shit. I cheered, I laughed, and I left feeling so inspired. You know how people made fun of Lin Manuel because they were like, "you can't do a rap show about Alexander Hamilton" and he did it and proved everyone wrong. Well the same could be said about this show. Wrestling with viking mythology - a combo I never thought I'd say but here we are. I'm gonna see this show again when the guy who played Loki plays Odin (like...the 14th I believe!) and then again another time when my friend comes into town. I'll be seeing this show 3 times I guess. That's how wonderful it is. I even bought 3 freakin tshirts after and will be proudly wearing them around the Fringe.

I watched the show tonight and I loved every minute of it. I am not a fan of wrestling but I had a blast! The show was funny and all the actors/wrestlers were super talented. Definitely a must see!

This was my favorite show. Good story. Kitschy walk in music. Fun wrestling. It was everything I needed it to be. The creator (and actor playing Loki) wants you to know that pro wrestling is legitimate theater, and the crew made the point with an exclamation.

Even if professional wrestling is not your thing, Mythos: Ragnarok is a unique blend of athleticism, arts, story-telling and comedy that entertains, delights and drags out your investment into the characters of Norse mythology. A thoroughly enjoyable evening that had us cheering along for heroes and gasping at the twisting events of the story.

Fun, talent, story, wrestling, and pure entertainment!! Go have a blast!!

Norse mythology through the medium of WWE-style wrestling. As insane as it sounds, but great fun and, actually, stays relatively close to the original stories... Pure fringe...

absolutely phenomenal. Literally cannot recommend enough
I think this is the perfect marriage of genre and medium.
I want to see every mythological conflict portrayed through suplexes and clotheslines.

What a surprise, this was brilliant. Started off a little slow and wondered where it was going but it was so much fun and so different to the endless other shows. You need to watch it

Just Wow! This show did not disappoint! Absolutely hilarious, exhilarating and unique! This show stands out in a crowd! Performed by wrestlers who proved they were accomplished actors too. This show is a definite Go See!

This was our last show of 9 booked in the fringe over he last 2 days and what an ending it was. A fitting finale to a great couple of days. Rousing, funny, nail biting and sad in turn, Yes I winced a few times as they hit the canvas... but oh my goodness, the whole show was such FUN! We came out full of it.

If you are looking for something a bit different, then go see this!

Really fun and exhilarating. Yes, this is not high brow theatre, but who cares? A fun-filled, edge of your seat 60 minutes and truly a shared experience as you can't help but be vocal and participate in the mayhem as the audience. Enjoy!

An epic show, a true spectacle. Ed has created something wonderful merging three things you'd never think possible, Norse mythology, pro-wrestling and theatre. This is a triumph with Ed taking the role of the mischievous Loki, played with humour and, at times, poignancy. The audience over every minute of the unique, fun and fiesta show. Great show. Definitely worth a watch!!

Genuinely wasn’t sure what to expect, I love Norse mythology and I love wrestling but was sure how they’d mesh together. Needless to say the answer is flawlessly.

This is hands down THE best show of the Fringe imo. Incredible scripting, amazing action and entertainment, hilarious humour; they get the whole crowd so involved with booing and cheering and clapping along. The energy is undeniable! If you've never even considered giving Mythos or even Wrestling an opportunity to blow your mind, Seriously consider opening your mind for the show. This is easily my most recommended show for EVERYONE this year at the Fringe. 10/10

If you're looking at the show on the page thinking "how does THAT work" or even "I don't like wrestling" all I can say is look at the reviews - I agree with them all!

Apart from the fact that it's utterly unique within the fringe (how often can you say that?), it's also rare to come out of a show where pretty much everyone is buzzing.

The mythology is taken deadly seriously (ok, some good gags too) and the stories well told with great music, staging, and atmos.

And the combat? Well... how many times have you seen actors on stage doing great dialog and terrible fight scenes? Not here, it's utterly breathtaking and the folks who "didn't like wrestling" (Including my companion BtW) tended to take a completely different view when it was yards away rather than on TV and fitted perfectly into the broader narrative.

You feel the shockwaves running right through you :) ...Thunder of the gods? You bet.

Truly unmissable - You will thank me - (and the many others above and below here)

Just what the fringe is about - dynamic entertaining and you really won’t know what is coming next. Amazing performances.

Suprisingly amazing combo. You don't need to be into wrestling to enjoy it.

The storytelling is amazingly done, a balanced blend of seriousness with humour - the whole audience was enraptured from the start, cheering, laughing and gasping. The wrestling aspect lends itself amazingly well to norse mythology and looks spectacular (can't say more on it since I have no clue about wrestling in general). Plus it's clearly a labour of love and you just can't help but share the enthusiasm when in the audience.

10/10, it's a must!

Incredible, unique storytelling seen nowhere else in the Fringe with brilliant actor-wrestlers (I never watch wrestling normally so can't really comment on that, but I thought it was incredible!), and an excellent score to go alongside! I want to see it again and again, and I can't wait to see what the incredible crew do next!

This is hands down THE best show of the Fringe imo. Incredible storytelling, amazing acting, hilarious humour; the whole crowd is always buzzing and cheering and laughing. The energy is infectious! If you've never even considered wrestling, PLEASE change your mind for the show. This is my #1 recommended show for EVERYONE.

2nd year seeing this. Absolutely love it. Not into wrestling- but when you see this combined with the mythos story live it's amazing. So entertaining.

Absolutely Fantastic! A funny and entertaining take on Norse Mythology with a wrestling twist.
The story is well told and the characters are really brought to life by a great cast. I loved every minute of it.

10/10!

Such an amazing show, definetely go see it. I've never been into wrestling and I mainly went for the cool costumes. When I walked into the theater that is clearly very much a lecture hall I want expecting much. But oh my god, this knocked my off my feet. Within 5 minutes, I forgot all about my surrounding and was completely drawn into the atmosphere and tension created by the performers, the music (just the right amount of cheesy but it fites so well) and the great lighting. The wrestling is incredible, everyone was gasping and whooping the whole time. And it is also a great retelling of the myth of Ragnarök, with a great mix of funny but also serious and genuinly sad moments. Amazing form for this material! The cast are a great mix of stunnigly talented people, it so so thouroghly enganging, Id go again !

Excellent acting, excellent wrestling, excellent sword fighting! A must see!

What a stunning show! Loved it! As someone with zero interest in seeing wrestling (either in the ring or on TV), I found myself shouting, rooting and booing the heroes and villains throughout the show! Probably the most violently entertaining show on the fringe, this is something you MUST SEE, not just for the uniqueness of its fight scenes, but also for the superb choreography and music! 6/5 and a contender for the best Fringe show. Trust me, you will be cheering, booing and hissing along as the show progresses. You can't help it!

Very entertaining and great fun, this was a wonderful surprise. A lot of physical comedy (i.e., akin to pro wrestling) that may not appeal to all, but if you love Viking myths and want a fun time, this is a great pick.
