Eurydice

by Sarah Ruhl

One of America's greatest female playwrights takes on the ancient myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, but this time, it's told from her point of view. When Eurydice dies too young, on her wedding day, she journeys to the underworld where she reunites with her father and struggles to remember her lost love. Featuring compelling plot twists and contemporary storytelling techniques, the piece is a fresh look at a timeless love story.
