[edit]I strongly doubt the part here where it says The play is a modern retelling of the ancient Greek Orpheus legend. In fact the play´s story, plot and even the characters have hardly anything to do with the myth, and the title is actually misleading.87.187.222.230 (talk) 06:34, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
There is a subtle retelling of Orpheus here. Val descends into a kind of Hell and attempts to bring Lady out. His true love for her is the weakness which leads to his death. (Orpheus looked back). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.118.175.26 (talk) 07:35, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
