Grandpa Poseidon at Adelaide Fringe
February 22, 2025 @ 3:20 PM - March 23, 2025 @ 4:20 PM ACDT
$15
From internationally award winning Wright & Grainger comes their first show for everyone in the family.
A kid is on holiday in a seaside town.
A seagull is stealing a chip.
And Poseidon is sat at a bus stop staring at the ocean.
It’s a story about being somewhere that feels new, about being scared of change, about talking, listening and helping someone find their feet in a new landscape.
Storytelling, with songs, and post-it notes.
It’s a story about feeling a bit lost, and about finding your way again. It’s a story about a seaside town, a retired god, and a kid.

Kids in Adelaide Review |
“Grandpa Poseidon is an interactive and theatrical storytelling show that is as heart warming as it is moving—you might even shed a tear. The artist tells a story of a young child stepping into the unfamiliar, facing the fear of change, and discovering the power of conversation. When the child meets Poseidon—the retired god—moments of realization unfold, taking you on an emotional journey. It’s a tale of feeling lost and finding your way again. We laughed, we sang, we loved the post-it notes, and yes, we cried. Parents, be prepared for an emotional experience. Best suited for over 5s who love storytelling.”
