About the show
20/20 is a new writing theatre show by Queen Mary Theatre Company, a student and youth company, performed at Theatre 2 during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025. The show reimagines the Orpheus and Eurydice myth with a twist: Orpheus takes a different deal, and is doomed to watch Eurydice die and reincarnate, falling in love with her over and over again, while Eurydice believes she is simply falling for a mysterious stranger each time. The narrative jumps between time to tell how the characters arrived at this point. The show runs for 45 minutes, tickets are £9.50 (concessions £7.50), and is suitable for ages 12 and over.
Why see this show?
A fresh retelling of a classic myth that flips the central dilemma and explores the consequences. The time-jumping structure keeps the familiar story moving in unexpected directions — new writing with a strong dramatic premise.
