| Summary: | "Orpheus Descending" as Williams explained is the story of "a wild-spirited boy who wanders into a conventional community of the South and creates the commotion of a fox in a chicken coop." The protagonist, an itinerant guitarist, is a latter-day Orpheus who is destroyed when he descends into the arid hell of a small Southern town to rescue Lady from the impotent embrace of her cancer-doomed husband. The play is based on the character Orpheus from Greek mythology.
