Eurydice

"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.
