Eurydice
By Sarah Ruhl, March 7-April 18, 2009
A fantastical twist on the Orpheus myth, "Eurydice" follows the story of his wife, lost on their wedding night. After falling to her death, Eurydice finds herself in the Underworld; but the Dead speak another language, and with the help of her father, she must re-learn her human tongue to remember the world and husband she left behind. A visually stunning, whimsical story, our characters move through a world of talking stones, raining elevators, letters sent through the earth via worms and rooms made of string. Called 'devastatingly lovely' by the New York Times, Ruhl's sexy and imaginative wonderland is drop-dead captivating. The writer won the MacArthur Foundation 'Genius' grant for this work.
