Eurydice Had Been Loved

It is your lot to be left behind, cry tragedy as I catalogue your loss amongst a billion others. To live is to grieve

HADES

ORPHEUS

No, Lord Hades. To live is to love.

Coming Soon

Orpheus is a tortured artist, Eurydice is a bubbly partier. They’re both trying to figure out how to love when they’re so deeply broken.

This contemporary retelling, imagining the tragic lovers as a Black lesbian couple, delves into the high price love demands. When pain runs deep, can love run deeper? What if you never get the chance to try?
