CASTING
General note: any sort of musical ability (singing, vocal/foley sounds, ability to play any instrument, ability to just hold a note) a plus but not necessary.
Eurydice: female-presenting: too young, too in love, too trusting, just the right amount of sweet - aware of the deep dark ocean of sadness she carries and thinks of books and ideas to hold it away
Orpheus: male-presenting: a legendary musician, a manic pixie dream boy, unaware of how strong he could be. A folk hero.
Her Father: male-presenting: loves Eurydice more than anything, a kind man, gently sad and genuinely soft. Remembers how to read and write in the land of the dead, and impressive and dangerous feat
A Nasty Interesting Man/The Lord of the Underworld: male-presenting: Interesting, nasty, calculated, operating on his own unknowable plane, selfish, growing like a turnip, moves unnaturally
The three stones (Big, Little, Loud): any gender(s): Keepers of the Underworld, eternal narrators, claiming to watch unimpassioned but… act like playful, feuding kids on a playground, inventing and twisting the rules as they go
SYNOPSIS
Dying too young on her wedding day, Eurydice must journey to the underworld, where she reunites with her father and struggles to remember her lost love. With contemporary characters, ingenious plot twists, and breathtaking visual effects, the play is a fresh look at a timeless love story.
