River and Ash are as happy as can be, out in nature, lost in their music until the ground opens up and swallows Ash whole, dragging them into the Underworld! Can the bonds of their friendship and the mystical magic of music help bring Ash home?

Join River and Ash on this perilous adventure to a land from which there is no return. Can they outrun the demon hoards and find their way back home to their cosy cottage in time for tea?

River and Ash is a delightful retelling of the Orpheus in the Underworld myth, reimagined in puppetry.
