The StoryWhat the Gods Left BehindA powerful new ensemble production from Oldham Theatre WorkshopHidden in an abandoned storage facility lies a strange collection of boxes — each packed with echoes of forgotten lives, fractured memories… and the traces of something ancient.When a group of young people stumble upon the unit, they begin to uncover the truth: these aren’t ordinary stories. They belong to the lost children of the gods.What the Gods Left Behind is a mythic, magical, and moving new play that weaves together bold characters, interlocking stories, and a ticking clockFunny, fierce, and filled with heart, this play blends modern themes of identity, care, and memory with the timeless power of mythology.
