Icarus is Falling

Sheep's Clothing Theatre

Toronto, ON

July 17, 2026 - July 26, 2026

Written in iambic pentameter, this play retells the myth of the young Icarus, resigned to a life of monotony imprisoned inside the Labyrinth. Forever overshadowed by the genius of his aging father, Daedalus, Icarus's world is thrown into disarray when Helios, the ancient sun god, appears on the roof, promising Icarus the two things he desires most- adoration and immortality. Winner of the 2026 New Play Contest at Hamilton Fringe Festival!
