Eurydice

Through dialogue, poetry and music, “Eurydice” explores universal themes of grief and loss, parental and romantic love and whether it is easier to forget the past or to cherish it with a broken heart. Sarah Ruhl retells the myth of Orpheus from the perspective of Eurydice, his wife. Audience members may be familiar with Tennessee Williams’ 1957 drama “Orpheus Descending.” “Eurydice” will be performed 7:30 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, Sept. 14-16 and Sept. 21-23 at Jacoby Arts Center, 627 E. Broadway, Alton, IL. A professionally crafted set extends past the traditional stage limiting seating to 50 and creating an intimate, all-encompassing experience
