A quick writers cut of the opening scene of Act II that got left on the cutting room floor (For good reason):
Orpheus and Eurydice were supposed to get engaged before they got married. The first act would have ended just as it does currently. However, the second act would have opened with a very "One Year Later" sort of feel with a lot of exposition as to what happened in the passing time. Topics of conversation would have included, but was not limited to:
- What happened to Penny, Polly, and Peggy
- How long they had been dating
- More development of Claudius and Julia
- A really cliche opening song outlining the proposal
- It would have been in a cafe. Yeah. I don't know.
- The transition would have been from the cafe morphing into the chapel morphing into the funeral.
All this and more in the next director's cut!
