Eurydice

From the Sarah Ruhl, award-winning author of last season’s delicious comedy The Clean House and one of America’s most original and exciting young playwrights, comes a lyrical meditation on love and loss that puts a contemporary spin on the classic Orpheus myth. Shifting the focus to the bride Eurydice, carried off to the Underworld on the very day of her wedding, Ruhl follows her on her journey through multiple realms of love and memory in search of something that will transcend even the inevitability of death. Whimsical, mystical, and deeply moving, Eurydice is a unique and haunting look at the power of love and the ties that bind.
