Orpheus And The Underworld

Weymouth – September 2025

Starting with Orpheus and his girlfriend Eurydice’s gig at the Nothe tavern, we took audiences on a journey into the underworld beneath Nothe Fort to rescue Eurydice from Hades. There were three headed dogs, singing dead teachers and a final showdown with Hades before we brought audiences back to the tavern to finish with a gig (including local Weymouth bands).
