About Eurydice
Get Eurydice tickets and see Stranger Things star Maya Hawke in the title role of Sarah Ruhl’s thrilling take on an ancient myth. A contemporary revisioning on the story of Orpheus and Eurydice that centers its female lead, Ruhl’s Drama Desk Award-nominated adaptation, now returning off Broadway for the first time since 2007, is one of her most produced works that also helped make her one of today’s most successful and prized playwrights. Set an alert for when Eurydice tickets go on sale to see this new production of one of Ruhl’s earliest works.
The musician Orpheus marries Eurydice, and on her wedding day she descends to the underworld. Orpheus begins an odyssey to find his love and bring her back — but in Ruhl’s adaptation, Eurydice finds her deceased father in the underworld, adding complexity to her decision to return to the world above. A story of young love, fatherly care, and fantastical wonder follows, all told in the playwright’s distinctly wry and poetic style.

More information about Eurydice
The myth of Eurydice and Orpheus has been adapted and retold for centuries, speaking to the enduring power of this godly love story. There have been operas, ballets, and plays, and Sarah Ruhl’s stands out thanks to its playful language, charming theatricality, and female-centric narrative.
Now, the play returns to New York, coming to Signature Theatre for a limited run this spring. No previous knowledge of the myth is needed, and even for those who adore it, Ruhl’s version is sure to offer something new to appreciate. The New York Times called it a “wonderful new play” upon its 2007 premiere.
Obie Award winner Les Waters (The Christians, The Thin Place) directs Eurydice in New York City. A master interpreter of Ruhl’s work, Waters directed versions of the play at Berkeley Rep, Yale Rep, and then Second Stage Theater off Broadway.
