Jean Cocteau's short 1926 play, "Orphée," was directed by me in 1965.

This 3 minute video was created in 2009 from stills I shot during rehearsal.

The cast includes:
- William Skurski (Orphée)
- Patricia Coomey (Eurydice)
- Richard White (Heurtebise, the angel)
- Katherine Thomas (Death)
- John T. Sheedy (Azreal, death's assistant #1)
- Michael Leininger (Raphael, death's assistant #2)
- Richard Lizza (Commissioner of Police)
- Jean Zampiceni (Secretary to the Police)

The music is by Debussy: Arabesque #1 (1888-1891)

Set by Norman Archambault
