O R P H E U S ~ A Tale of Ancient Gods and Late Night Karaoke

ORPHEUS

Multi award winning, smash hit production from Yorkshire based theatre makers comes to Glasgow for one night as part of its international tour.

Words by Alexander G Flanagan-Wright
Music by Phil Grainger

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.

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
