EURYDICE
BY SARAH RUHL | SCHAPIRO THEATER AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, SPRING 2016

Eurydice is a meditation on memory and loss that examines the relationships of fathers and daughters and how we commune with those across the veil. After a tragic fall on her wedding day, Eurydice arrives in the land of the dead where she meets her father who she cannot recognize. Orpheus searches desperately in the land of the living for a way to Eurydice. Meanwhile, Eurydice's father teaches her how to speak again and the Lord of the Underworld takes a liking to her. When Orpheus sings at the gates of hell will he be able to get Eurydice back or will she choose to stay?
