The title of this article says it all. And it rhymes. What more could you want? So here are the details about this magnificent play. Eurydice is an adaptation of the greek myth Eurydice done by Sarah Ruhl. In the original story, Eurydice marries Orpheus, and then dies and goes to hell. Orpheus goes down to hell to get her back, and when he gets there Hades tells him that he can’t look back at her but she will be behind him and if he looks back then she’ll stay in hell forever (I hope I’m making sense here). So of course he looks back and she stays in hell. In this version, this all happens of course, but it focuses more on Eurydice’s stay in hell and the relationship she develops with her father who is also chilling down there. There is also the presence of three hilarious stones who are the comic relief (one of whom is played by me!) and a really groovy set. Lauren Johnson plays Eurydice, Josh Martin is the Father, J.R. Thomson is Orpheus, Eric Robertson is the devil/very interesting man, and myself, Savannah Truesdale, and Lanier Smith are the three stones. Tickets are on sale now and are $5 for students in the Harper Center Box Office! (They are $10 for non students). So go get your tickets now guys! It will be so worth it, and I’m not just saying that because I am in it. THE PLAY IS NEXT WEEKEND! MARCH 25-27th!!!!!!! BE THERE!!!!!

love,
