Description

A timeless Greek myth becomes poetry in motion

EURYDICE

by Sarah Ruhl - Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize Nominee

Directed by Jeffrey Lo

The classic myth of Orpheus and Eurydice is reimagined in this contemporary story, as seen through the eyes of its heroine. After a tragic accident on her wedding day, Eurydice travels to the underworld where she is reunited with her much-loved father. Guided by a chorus of Stones, Eurydice must learn to accept the harsh rules of death as she struggles with a new language and haunting memories of her beloved husband. With ingenious plot twists and breathtaking visual effects, EURYDICE is a poignant love story about life, loss, and unthinkable choices.

"Rhapsodically beautiful…an inexpressibly moving theatrical fable about love, loss and the pleasures and pains of memory." —The New York Times
