Orpheus
Dave is single at a bar, Eurydice is a tree nymph and ancient myth is relocated to dive bars and side streets.
First Night is a theatre diary for logging the shows you've seen and discovering what to see next.
The story reworks the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice through Dave and Eurydice, placing impossible, death-defying love in a contemporary world of bars, streets and ancient gods. The familiar myth is retold through spoken word and acoustic soul music rather than as a straight classical adaptation.
A myth retelling built from spoken word and acoustic soul, with contemporary urban settings sitting alongside gods, romance and the pull of an ancient story.
myth retellings, spoken-word theatre, acoustic soul and romances that cross ordinary and supernatural worlds.
