Red Stitch Actors Theatre Presents Eurydice

Eurydice is a retelling of the Orpheus myth through the eyes of its heroine Eurydice. Instead of focussing on the mourning musician, it focuses on his lost bride and on her struggle with love and memory beyond the grave as both wife and daughter.

Sarah Ruhl’s play tells the story of Eurydice after she is lured into death on her wedding day and must journey to the Underworld, where she is reunited with her father and finds herself struggling to remember her husband. With contemporary, whimsical characters, it is a modern exploration of love, loss, longing and the pleasures and pains of memory.
