Plot: The young poet is introduced to The Princess - death itself, and becomes ensnared by her. His wife, Eurydice, wants to tell him of her pregnancy but is ignored - and is killed a short time later. Orpheus wants to save he and goes through a mirror to the Underworld. Once there, The Princess agrees they can leave together - provided Orpheus leads the way and never looks back on his wife until they have exited the Underworld. -- Chris Kavan
