Princeton Summer Theater’s 2015 season, which focused on themes of adaption and myth, will come to a close with Obie Award-Winning playwright Sarah Ruhl’s Eurydice. [Above: Bits Sola (L), Kanoa Mulling (Center), and Maeve Brady (R) as the Chorus of Stones in Sarah Ruhl's Eurydice.]
Eurydice is a whimsical and touching adaptation of the classic Orpheus myth from the perspective of its heroine, Orpheus’ bride Eurydice. After dying on her wedding day, Eurydice must face a choice: to stay in the underworld with her beloved father, or to return to the world of the living to reunite with the husband she left behind. Featuring music, a chorus of speaking stones, and world of colorful string, Eurydice is lyrical, charmingly funny, and, ultimately, a poignant reflection on the pain of loss and love that we all experience.
