Hadestown: Teen Edition

Presented by Stourbridge Amateur Operatic Society - Youth Theatre

Hadestown: Teen Edition is a full-length adaptation of Anaïs Mitchell's Hadestown, modified for performance by teen actors for family audiences.

This intriguing and beautiful folk opera delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience.

Following two intertwining love stories - that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of immortal King Hades and lady Persephone - Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back.

Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz, Mitchell's beguiling sung-through musical pits industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love.
