Synopsis :

"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.
