The Greek tragedy of Orpheus and Eurydice already has an oddly unsatisfying musical version in the West End, courtesy of HADESTOWN running at the Lyric Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue. This quirky, much smaller-scale production simply entitled EURYDICE, plays at Jermyn Street Theatre on the opposite side of Piccadilly and offers an altogether different (certainly less musical, though not necessarily traditional) approach to the ancient tale.
