Wright&Grainger's EURYDICE

A retelling of a retelling of an ancient myth, from internationally award winning 'masters of storytelling' (FourthWall) behind ORPHEUS, HELIOS and THE GODS THE GOD THE GODS

LENI IS 5 YEARS OLD, HOLDING A SUPERMAN COSTUME
EURYDICE IS 5 YEARS INTO THE REST OF HER LIFE

A story about leaping into freefall and being a daily superhero. 

A story about this world, and the next one. 

A story about how things change, because things always change.

Wound from live electronica and soaring spoken word.

    A work that feels both intimate and expansive, grounded in the modern world while echoing with the timelessness of myth. - Rachael Mead, InDaily

    If Orpheus is the soul of this cycle, Eurydice is its beating, modern heart. Their standing ovation at the end was well deserved. - Scott, A Thousand Words

    A rock-opera style reimagining of a timeless love story - John Goodridge, The AU Review
