Sarah Ruhl's "Eurydice": Love, death and a myth retold
Seattle Times Newspaper: "But Sarah Ruhl's play 'Eurydice,' by all accounts, is unique in its approach to the myth. Here it's conveyed from the seriocomic angle of Eurydice — who usually plays second lyre to her ardent musician-husband, Orpheus."

I really want to see this play! If i could i'd buy a plane ticket and fly to see it! It's been a while since i read an add for a production and responded with "I want to see this without a doubt or how much is it?" Since we have been doing so much work with greek plays and theatre in foundations the name just jumped out at me! I know the story and can really appreciate how Ruhl's interpreting it through a woman's point of view! I find it completely refreshing since the majority of Greek plays were originally written by a man and thus from his perspective.
i think this show would do really well this year. i think it's got a great team of people to start off. i was always fascinated with the character early on. and it is always great to see a show with different twist or perspective. hope this one brings success!
I read this play for a contemporary theatre class in undergrad, and it turned out to be one of my favorite plays that we read. The script and the story are great, and I can't wait to see this show performed. I really like how Sarah Ruhl explores a concept without getting sucked into it or overdoing it. A lot of plays these days are all about the concept, but Eurydice has a great story, great writing, and a pretty cool concept. Long story short, I like the script a lot and I look forward to seeing it in action.
