    Summary

    "I cant promise you fair sky above
    Can't promise you kind road below
    But I'll walk beside you, love
    Any way the wind blows"
    -promises, Hadestown

     

    Ren's convinced he can live his entire life concealed and safe behind the mask of playing a role. Being a hybrid in a world filled to the brim with people who will stop at nothing to cause you pain and suffering will teach you that.

    Martyn's convinced the world is unsafe and untrustworthy. He knows that he's undoubtedly better off alone. Living in the foster home he'd been shoved into taught him that at a very early age.

    They're both convinced that playing Orpheus and Eurydice in their school's rendition of Hadestown will open all the right doors they need for their future careers in musical theatre.

     

    When curtains are drawn back, and vulnerability is directly in the middle of the stage, spotlights forcing them to see nothing else in their wake, they need to be brave. Masks will need to be thrown out, and walls will need to be torn down.
