Contemporary playwright Sarah Ruhl’s lyrical, poetic retelling of the classic Orpheus myth centering on Eurydice’s reunion with her father in an “Alice in Wonderland”-style underworld. Written by Ruhl in response to the loss of her own father, "Eurydice" is a mystical depiction of the bittersweet yet joyful conversations we continue to have with people and places we have loved and lost. . . and a testament to the unbreakable ties that bind us.

“Eurydice” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www. concordtheatricals.com
