Eurydice | Sarah Ruhl

3 posts | 6 read | 4 to read

Dramatic Comedy / 5m, 2f / Unit Set In Eurydice, Sarah Ruhl reimagines the classic myth of Orpheus through the eyes of its heroine. Dying too young on her wedding day, Eurydice must journey to the underworld, where she reunites with her father and struggles to remember her lost love. With contemporary characters, ingenious plot twists, and breathtaking visual effects, the play is a fresh look at a timeless love story. RHAPSODICALLY BEAUTIFUL. A weird and wonderful new play - an inexpressibly moving theatrical fable about love, loss and the pleasures and pains of memory. - The New York Times EXHILARATING!! A luminous retelling of the Orpheus myth, lush and limpid as a dream where both author and audience swim in the magical, sometimes menacing, and always thrilling flow of the unconscious. - The New Yorker Exquisitely staged by Les Waters and an inventive design team...Ruhl's wild flights of imagination, some deeply affecting passages and beautiful imagery provide transporting pleasures. They conspire to create original, at times breathtaking, stage pictures. - Variety

Not my favorite play I‘ve read, i feel like the structure and language wasn‘t my favorite.

Obsessing over the musical Hadestown and reading every interpretation of Orpheus & Eurydice ever written, be back probably never. #currentlyreading #musicaltheatre #hadestown #stillbuyingcds

My second summer play! Definitely on the modern end of the spectrum. Not very long, and the dialogue tends to be short and clipped (no "To be or nit to be..." here). But Ruhl packs a lot in and raises some fascinating questions about death, memory, and relationships. I'm still thinking about it.
