By Sarah Ruhl


October 1st - 4th & October 9th - 12th, 2008

Directed by Sarah Carleton
With original music by Patricia Julien.

"...Love and grief, life and death are both endless and tentative, fixed and mutable in the strange world of “Eurydice,” the devastatingly lovely — and just plain devastating — theatrical gloss on the Orpheus myth by the inventive young playwright Sarah Ruhl..."


Sarah Ruhl reimagines the classic myth of Orpheus and Eurydice through the eyes of its heroine. When she abruptly dies on her wedding day, Eurydice must journey through the underworld, reunite with her father, and struggle to retain her memories of her lost love. With contemporary characters and ingenious twists of plot, this award winning play is truly a fresh look at a timeless love story.

"...Ms. Ruhl’s quirky contemporary meditation on a much-meditated-upon story has some of the subliminal potency of music, the head-scratching surprise of a modernist poem and the cockeyed allure of a surrealist painting.
It’s pretty funny, too..." ~ New York Times
