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.
