ORPHEUS
Dave is single and turning 30. 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 soul music.
The Flanagan Collective and Gobbledigook Theatre weave a world of dive bars, side streets and ancient gods.
