Eurydice

By Sarah Ruhl

January 8 - 31, 2010

Eurydice is a tale of love and letters that tell the story of Eurydice, bride of the ancient Greek mythical musician, Orpheus. On her wedding day, Eurydice is to marry her true love Orpheus, but instead, she trips and falls into the depths of the Underworld. Her memories washed away by the river Styx, Eurydice has a chance encounter with her dead father and the love she feels for him reawakens her memory of who she is. When Orpheus finally finds her in the land of the dead, Eurydice has to choose between following him back to life, or remaining with her father. A poetic and moving modern version of the classic tale of loss and love, Eurydice abounds with surprising plot twists, quirky humor, and an original musical score created especially for the Perseverance production.
