Eurydice

Paperback

Price: $15.95

Overview

Eurydice is a luminous retelling of the Orpheus myth from
his beloved wife’s point of view. Watching it, we enter a singular,
surreal world, as lush and limpid as a dream–an anxiety dream of love
and loss–where both author and audience swim in the magical, sometimes
menacing, and always thrilling flow of the unconscious… Ruhl’s
theatrical voice is reticent and daring, accurate and outlandish.” –John
Lahr, New Yorker

A reimagining of the classic myth of
Orpheus through the eyes of its heroine. Dying too young on her wedding
day, Eurydice journeys to the underworld, where she reunites with her
beloved father and struggles to recover lost memories of her husband and
the world she left behind.

Reviews
"As I watched the final minutes of the Yale Rep's knockout production of
Sarah Ruhl's Eurydice, tears came with the suddenness of grief... The
heroine's arrival in Hades (by elevator, accompanied by a stunning surge of
rain) is memorable for technical reasons, but it wouldn't mean a thing without
this playwright's singular voice... While Eurydice is certainly a play for
our fearful times, it is about every death, every loss, every paralyzing pang
of grief... Sarah Ruhl has looked into the heart of darkness and found an awful
beauty." – "New York Times"
