Eurydice

Eurydice, a bold, slyly comic, visually fascinating take on the classic Orpheus myth by Sarah Ruhl, is enjoying an ambitious revival by Victory Gardens Theater, to open the 35th season at Chicago’s #1 presenter of new plays.

Penned by Evanston native, Pulitzer Prize nominee, and MacArthur Genius award winner Sarah Ruhl, Eurydice had one of its earliest readings at Victory Gardens, before Ruhl became the hottest playwright working in American theater today. Ruhl’s plays include Dead Man’s Cell Phone, The Clean House, and Passion Play, all widely produced throughout the U.S., including recently in Chicago by both Steppenwolf and Goodman theaters.
