Poster for Eurydice

Eurydice

11 July 2025 – 26 July 2025

Playwright
Sarah Ruhl
Director
Abbey McCaughan
EURYDICE is an imaginative retelling of the Greek myth of Orpheus. "Orpheus was a great musician, Eurydice was his wife, she died." The tale usually follows the adventure of Orpheus, the tragedy and hubris of his love – but very rarely is Eurydice much more than the treasure at the end of the journey. In this play, Eurydice takes the forefront – we see her developed as an intelligent and curious young woman, we watch her death and follow her to the Underworld, see her reconnect with her dead father and follow Eurydice and her father as they reclaim their memories from the River Styx. The Underworld is a wonderland of stone creatures and a devilish king with rules that only make sense "because".
