Orpheus

This October FOUR OF SWORDS leads you back into the belly of the earth, illuminated by candlelight, to witness an ancient tale of love, loss and the desperate search for what has been taken from us.The legendary musician Orpheus has lost his beloved Eurydice to the kingdom of the dead.

Armed with nothing but his lyre and an unbreakable will, he descends into the Underworld itself, to charm its rulers, move its shadows, and reclaim her.

But the dead do not give up their own easily...Drawing on the Classical myth of Orpheus and Eurydice and its haunting Middle English retelling Sir Orfeo, where a king wanders a faerie wilderness in grief for his stolen queen, FOUR OF SWORDS weaves together live original music, theatre and spectacle to conjure a world where myth, memory and the hidden histories of Beer Quarry Caves collide.As with previous FOUR OF SWORDS productions, audiences will be standing and walking for the duration of the show.

Please wear sensible footwear and warm clothing.

Please be advised that this show might be a bit too spooky for young children so is not recommended for under 11s.
