"Eurydice" is a modern retelling of the of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth and features a fantastical world of talking stones, falling letters, and running water.

Here's what the school says about the show:

On the day of her wedding, Eurydice falls victim to a tragic accident that sends her hurtling into a wonderland of an Underworld: ripped from her beloved Orpheus, the greatest musician in the world, Eurydice is reunited with her dead father in the Land of the Dead. Orpheus journeys to retrieve his bride, but Eurydice has begun to discover that the cost of living again can sometimes exceed the cost of staying dead. Full of dark humor, lyrical beauty, and wit, Sarah Ruhl’s Eurydice transforms a traditional myth into a visceral, contemporary meditation on love worth grieving for.

"Eurydice" is presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.
