Believe

This musical is inspired by Jean Anouilh’s version of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth. Believe, set on the eve of World War II, tells the tale of a street musician and an actress who meet by chance and fall in love while delayed in a train station in Toulon, France. With the Germans closing in from the North and Mussolini’s Forces closing in from the south, and fate encroaching from everywhere, the young lovers abandon their parents and their livelihood to run off together with the hope that their love and belief in each other can transform their lives.
