EURYDICE
By Sarah Ruhl
When tragedy strikes on her wedding day, Eurydice is sent hurtling into the Underworld. In this surreal land of talking rocks and strange characters, Eurydice reunites with her dead father while her husband, Orpheus, plots to save Eurydice from the Land of the Dead. But Orpheus’ quest presents Eurydice with a tricky choice: What is home and how do you know where you belong? Sarah Ruhl reimagines this classic myth with its reconsiderations on love, loss and sacrifice.
