Eurydice

by Sarah Ruhl (2003)

Play & Production Information

"Eurydice reimagines the classic myth of Orpheus and Eurydice not through Orpheus's infamous pilgrimage to retrieve his bridge, but 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, plot twists, and a script written to be a playground for designers, the play is a fresh look at a timeless love story."

— Concord Theatricals

Eurydice was performed at the University of Georgia's Founder Garden from May 2nd through May 5th, 2023.
