Orpheus

Dave is single. He's stood at the bar. Eurydice is a tree nymph. And Bruce Springsteen is on the karaoke. Enter a world of dive bars, side streets and ancient gods. Internationally acclaimed storytellers Wright&Grainger weave a tale of impossible, death-defying love told through hair-raising spoken word and soaring acoustic soul music. Originally made to play five performances, 600 shows later it still feels as fresh and exhilarating as when it began. After touring the world for almost a decade, Orpheus returns to Edinburgh. 'Theatrical magic. I laughed, I cried, I loved it' (GlamAdelaide.com.au).
