When a former page 3 girl and her rock star husband split up
it's big news. 'Twas ever thus!

The lovely Eurydice hates her famous husband, Orpheus, and longs for local entrepreneur, Aristeus. Little does she know that he's actually  luto, God of the Underworld, in disguise. When he takes her off to Hell, Orpheus is overjoyed, but for the sake of appearances he appeals to the Gods to return her. The ensuing musical romp climaxes in the famous Can-Can and, with some re-writing of history all ends happily ever after!

This is a Leeds Civic Arts Guild production.
