Eurydice is a confidently paced and beautifully performed piece that shows exactly why Wright & Grainger are such skilled storytellers. From the outset, the show moves with purpose, never lingering too long on a moment and trusting the audience to stay with it. The pacing is excellent, giving the story space to breathe while maintaining a steady emotional pull throughout.

The quality of performance is a real standout. There’s a clarity and assurance in the way the story is delivered, with performers who clearly know how to hold a room. Even in quieter moments, the audience remains engaged, a testament to the strength of the performances and the company’s understanding of rhythm, tone and connection.

Seeing the work performed outdoors adds an unusual texture to the show. At times, the elements work in its favour, lending a sense of openness and fragility that suits the material. At other moments, they prove distracting, briefly pulling focus away from the performance itself. This tension between intimacy and interruption gives the show a slightly rough-around-the-edges feel, though not in a way that undermines its core.

While Eurydice may not feel as immediately powerful as Orpheus to me, it remains an incredibly strong and engaging piece of work. Thoughtful, well-paced and performed with real care, it’s a piece that reflects a company fully in control of their craft. A confident and heartfelt performance that reminds you of the power of simple, well-told stories.
