"Eurydice" reimagines the classic myth of Orpheus and Eurydice not through Orpheus's infamous pilgrimage to retrieve his bridge, but through the eyes of its heroine. Dying too young on her wedding day, Eurydice must journey to the underworld, where she reunites with her father and struggles to remember her lost love. With contemporary characters, plot twists, and a script written to be a playground for designers, the play is a fresh look at a timeless love story. 

Eurydice had its world premiere at Madison Repertory Theatre in Madison, Wisconsin in 2003, after which it was performed at Berkeley Repertory Theatre in 2004, and Yale Repertory Theatre in 2006, directed by Les Waters. It opened Off-Broadway at Second Stage Theater in 2007. Sarah Ruhl also adapted the play into the libretto for an opera, “Eurydice” by Matthew Aucoin, which premiered at the L.A. Opera in February 2020.
