Orpheus / Orfeo

The story of Orpheus and Eurydice gets a Scottish twist in this dark and dangerous telling of the famous Greek myth. For this first time ever, the Shetland ballad of King Orfeo is swirled into the murky depths of a Hades’ underworld. This performance will be an exploration of grief and loss inspired by the words of people who live and work most closely with it. Storyteller Daniel Serridge, harpist Neil Wood and balladeer Heather Cartwright will take you deep below the earth and back again, pushing you forward, dragging you home and demanding that you don’t look back! BSL Interpreted. Suitable for audiences aged 14+.
