    AFTER THE CLIMB is a moving and heartfelt adaptation of the Greek tragedy of Orpheus and Eurydice. This play, although short in length, fills the reader/audience with many emotions and will linger in the mind for a long time after the play has ended. Great work to Tyler Joseph Rossi.

    This is the second short play I've read this week inspired by Orpheus and Eurydice (the other being John Bavoso's "Gaydestown"), and I'm struck by how beautifully these writers take this ancient story to such varied and interesting places. Tyler Joseph Rossi has set his on the icy face of Mt. Everest, giving us a haunting exploration of grief and regret that is poetic, spare, musical, and absolutely heartbreaking. Gorgeous, gorgeous work.

    I think I said "Oh My God" out loud at least 5 times. Once again, Rossi has expertly taken a myth we all know and twisted it, forming it into something new and magical. A remarkable play with remarkable writing. Oh My God.
