The production is directed by Les Waters, who previously directed the 2007 premiere of Eurydice at Second Stage Theater.
Sarah Ruhl’s Eurydice offers a lyrical, contemporary retelling of the classic Greek myth, this time from the viewpoint of its heroine. On her wedding day, Eurydice dies unexpectedly and descends into the Underworld. There, she is reunited with her father, a character Ruhl added to the myth, and begins to navigate a dreamlike world where memory fades and language is slippery. As Orpheus attempts to rescue her, Eurydice must choose between returning to the world of the living with her husband or remaining in the underworld with her father. The play explores themes of love, grief, and the impermanence of human connection with poetic elegance and emotional depth.
The creative team includes scenic design by Scott Bradley, costumes by Oana Botez, lighting by Reza Behjat, sound design by Bray Poor, and hair, wig, and makeup by Krystal Balleza and Will Vicari. Props are supervised by Rachel Kenner.
