...Both characters are played brilliantly by John Kelly, who provides a vital link between the stories in Hades and on Earth. As Persephone, he steals the emotional show from the more demonstrative Orpheus and Eurydice. The form of the play resembles an opera re-imagined by a Beat poet: sung and spoken dialogue alternates, often bleeding into each other and usually backed by the cacophonous melodies of a band on one side of the stage. Virtually each line is delivered with breathtaking intensity, which contributes to the tone but occasionally leads to some unintentionally amusing moments, as when Eurydice dramatically...
