Wright&Grainger's EURYDICE

A retelling of a retelling of an ancient myth, from international award winning 'masters of storytelling' (FourthWall) behind ORPHEUS and THE GODS THE GOD THE GODS, in a rare performance by Alexander Wright.

LENI IS 5 YEARS OLD, HOLDING A SUPERMAN COSTUME
EURYDICE IS 5 YEARS INTO THE REST OF HER LIFE
WITH A BEE TATTOO ON HER WRIST

A story about leaping into freefall and about being a daily superhero. 
A story about this world, and the next one.
And a story about how things change, because things always change, wound from live electronica and soaring spoken word.
