‘Theatrical Magic. I laughed, I cried, I loved it.’ - Glam Adelaide
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 500 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 has won multiple awards including
Best Theatre (Fringeworld) 2018
Best Music (Sydney Fringe) 2019
Beyond Words (Dunedin Fringe) 2019
Best Theatre (Adelaide Fringe) 2023
