EURYDICE
 
Written by  Sarah Ruhl
Directed by  Erika Chong Shuch

August 20 - September 20, 2015
EXTENDED to October 4!

PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN PREVIEWS:  August 20-26
OPENING NIGHT: August 27 


On the day Eurydice is to marry her true love Orpheus, a misstep sends her to the surreal depths of the Underworld. There she has a surprising reunion and must decide whether to follow Orpheus back to the land of the living. This tenderhearted comedy/love story solidified Ruhl as one of the most important new voices in American theatre. "Rhapsodically beautiful - an inexpressibly moving theatrical fable about love, loss and the pleasures and pains of memory." - The New York Times

Running Time: 100 minutes with no intermission.


"As boldly new as it is beautifully resonant... as exciting as seeing the tale for the first time." - Robert Hurwitt, SF Chronicle

"'Dazzling' and 'smoldering' are the best words to describe Shotgun Players' multi-layered Eurydice." - Lou Fancher, SF Weekly


Eurydice is generously supported by a grant from The William & Flora Hewlett Foundation and the Zellerbach Family Foundation.
