Fenix Theatre’s “Eurydice”

“Eurydice” as imagined by Sarah Ruhl is a contemporary, theatrical event that explores the power and limits of love, loss and memory.

Eurydice leaves her wedding for the underworld, searching for her father but the reunion is costly. Trapped on the opposite side of death, Orpheus fights to retrieve his bride, making a deal that seals both their fates. Celebrated by the New York Times as a “weird and wonderful new play,” playwright Sarah Ruhl explores the ancient Greek myth from the female perspective and with a fresh eye.

Presented by Fenix Theatre, a group of artists dedicated to staging the classics of theatre and literature. Their goal is to produce work ranging from the beautiful to the brutal, that is always rooted in truth and lives where the creativity and commitment of the artist meets the imagination of the audience.

They value showcasing the passion and brilliance of local artists. They value the creation of dynamic, inclusive, low barrier theatre. And they value theatre as a viable artistic/educational and entertainment outlet that is relevant and accessible to all members of the community.
