Watched an interesting musical called “Surf Orpheus” last night at UCSD. As it’s name implies, it was about the mythical Greek tale of Orpheus, a hero who falls in love and searches for his sweetheart in Hades after she dies tragically on their wedding day. The whole show had a modern surfing theme to it which actually worked very well for a story of lost glories and living on the edge. Well told from a fantastic point of view. Just don’t ask me about the singing…
