The love story of Orpheus and Eurydice

Set in a post-apocalyptic world, it follows the love affair of talented musician Orpheus and Eurydice, who are busy making plans to leave their bleak homeworld for a better life above-ground. But then the ruler of Hadestown tempts Eurydice with a job offer.
When Eurydice abandons their dreams and accepts the offer Orpheus is devastated, and heads off to rescue her - jeopardising his plans to escape Hadestown.
