In English, Italian and Rumanian, Bucharest Underground is a contemporary retelling of the Orpheus and Eurydice story set among the drug addicted homeless kids of Bucharest Underground. Sounds grim? It's not. It's punchy, funny, melodramatic and full of great energetic contemporary music.
All human characters are of redundancy age, fifty plus.

A daughter is missing...a mother fears the worst...a policewoman tries to console the mother.
Eight-year-old Alice McDonald has gone missing from her home in suburban Melbourne. Her disappearance arouses public outrage and private anguish. Among the general public, the case becomes a 'cause celebre' as it drags in its wake ancient fears, new dangers and enduring prejudices. And for the two women who, in different ways, both 'know' Alice, her vanishing raises more personal questions.
