"EURYDICE" VON SARAH RUHL

There is no choice of any importance in life but the choosing of a beloved

Eurydice and Orpheus are madly in love with each other, even though Orpheus has nothing but music on his mind while Eurydice cannot even keep a simple beat. When the young couple gets married, things go terribly wrong and Eurydice loses her love and her life. But it is not their storys end: In the Underworld, Eurydice finds herself in the bizarre and confusing land of the dead with no memories of her former life; meanwhile on Earth, Orpheus is unable to cope with his wifes death and becomes obsessed with the idea of venturing through Hell and bringing Eurydice back from death, whatever the costs might be.

Eurydice by the award-winning US playwright Sarah Ruhl retells the ancient myth and turns it into a spellbinding play about love and loss, life and death, the difficulties of relationships and the power of memories.
