Orpheus

About

Internationally award-winning re-telling of an ancient myth Dave is single. He’s stood at the bar. Eurydice is a tree nymph. And Bruce Springsteen is on the juke box. A tale of impossible, death-defying love told through hair raising spoken word and soaring acoustic soul music. Wright&Grainger weave a world of dive bars, side streets and ancient gods. Since its creation in 2016, ORPHEUS has played over 600 shows in the UK and internationally - in festivals, cafes, gardens, railways arches, bars, tents, churches, yoga studios, boats, record shops, breweries, loft apartments and very occasionally, a theatre. It’s won multiple awards including Best Theatre (Adelaide Fringe) Best Music (Sydney Fringe) Beyond Words (Dunedin Fringe) Orpheus has rightly received overwhelmingly positive reviews across multiple major festivals.
