According to the classic Greek myth, on the day Eurydice is to marry her true love, Orpheus, a tragic misstep sends her plummeting to the surreal depths of the Underworld. Sarah Ruhl’s contemporary play, retold from Eurydice’s point of view, abounds with surprising plot twists, quirky humor, lyrical writing, and poetic imagery as it explores the age-old theme of love and loss. Eurydice's painful choice of whether to return to earth with Orpheus or to stay in Hades, where she has been reunited with her dead father, drives this award-winning play to an original look at what it means to be alive and, as we love and lose those closest to us, find ways to inhabit the living world, a world of loss, but also of great hope.
