Show Notes

On the road to Hell there was a railroad line, and two ladies waiting for a train. Come with us way down under the ground as we dive into Anaïs Mitchell's musical vision of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, and it's world of gods and men. Talking Points: the cycle of seasons, trains, and stories; call, response, and reprise; the interplay of the mythical, personal, and political; why is it human to look back; can love truly flourish without trust; and, hey, why do we sing it anyway?
