New Rep Replaces 'Rock n Roll' With 'Eurydice'
By: BWW News Desk
New Rep will replace Rock 'n' Roll with the New England Premiere of Eurydice by Sarah Ruhl. Eurydice will open New Rep's 25th Season, a Season which includes plays written by the greatest writers of their generations.
"I am thrilled to have the opportunity to produce another play by the young and very talented Sarah Ruhl," said Rick Lombardo, New Rep's Producing Artistic Director. "The response we received from The Clean House this spring was overwhelmingly wonderful. It is clear that there is an audience hungry for Ruhl's work, and that she is truly a unique voice in American theatre." When New Rep announced Rock "n" Roll in February, they had acquired the Boston area performance rights from licensing agent Samuel French, Inc, unaware that American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco and the Huntington Theatre Company had also acquired rights for a co-production from Tom Stoppard's agent. Both New Rep and the Huntington had pursued appropriate methods for rights acquisition, on parallel paths. Soon after their announcement, Samuel French withdrew New Rep's rights to the Boston premiere.
