- Summary
- The story of a group of actors who have been rehearsing Jean Cocteau's Orpheus in New York City's East Village. On a warm summer afternoon, the body of a young woman is found on a grassy knoll in Tompkins Square Park. Eurydice, the lead actress, is dead. At her funeral, the actors examine their relationships with her in order to unravel the mystery of her demise. Each actor is also a suspect. The actors’ memories, the underworld of Cocteau's play and the East Village milieu become inextricably entwined. Play becomes life: seduction, betrayal, death. Final scenes underline the tragedy of Eurydice, as well as the end of an era in the East Village: scorched tenements, the Mudd Club, and "new wave" punk.
