Eurydice makes its Utah debut this month at The Grand Theatre. Sarah Ruhl, one of America’s finest young playwrights, provides an innovative perspective on this reinvention of the Greek myth, Orpheus and Eurydice. The myth's lush themes of love, death, memory, beauty, and the question of life after death perpetuate throughout this modern adaptation. However, Ruhl shifts the focus to the heroine, Eurydice, who ultimately struggles with the realities of love for her new husband along with the love she has for her father.

This regional premiere will also interweave the music which debuted with Eurydice's New York premiere, by composer Toby Twining. 

“…This story has some of the subliminal potency of music, the head-scratching surprise of a modernist poem and the cockeyed allure of a surrealist painting. It’s pretty funny, too.”  - NY Times
