Descending into the depths of grief and memory, Sarah Ruhl's Eurydice isn't your typical retelling of the Orpheus myth. This poignant and imaginative play offers a fresh perspective on love, loss, and the bittersweet nature of remembrance. This post will delve into the heart of Ruhl's work, exploring its unique narrative structure, compelling characters, and enduring themes. We'll examine its critical reception, its theatrical impact, and why it continues to resonate with audiences worldwide. Prepare to embark on a journey into a world where memory and the afterlife intertwine, challenging our understanding of love and the enduring power of the human spirit.
A Reimagining of a Classic Myth
Ruhl’s Eurydice boldly reimagines the well-known Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, flipping the traditional narrative on its head. Instead of focusing solely on Orpheus's desperate quest to retrieve his wife from Hades, Ruhl centers the story on Eurydice herself, giving voice to a character often relegated to a passive role. We witness Eurydice's experiences in the underworld, her encounters with quirky and unforgettable characters, and her own journey of self-discovery. This feminist reinterpretation empowers Eurydice, showcasing her strength, vulnerability, and the complexities of her emotions.
The Unconventional Structure: A Play Within a Play
The play's structure is as unconventional as its narrative perspective. Ruhl utilizes a fragmented, dreamlike structure, seamlessly blending the realms of the living and the dead. The play frequently shifts between Eurydice's life before her untimely death and her experiences in the afterlife. This shifting between realities creates a sense of disorientation, mirroring Eurydice's own emotional state and the blurring lines between memory and reality. The use of surreal imagery and playful language further enhances this dreamlike quality, engaging the audience's imagination and challenging traditional theatrical conventions.
Exploring Key Themes: Memory, Loss, and Love
Several key themes emerge throughout Eurydice, weaving a tapestry of human experience. Memory plays a crucial role, shaping Eurydice’s understanding of her past and her relationship with Orpheus. The play explores how memories are fragmented, unreliable, and yet vital to our sense of self. Loss is another central theme, depicting the profound grief experienced by both Eurydice and Orpheus. However, Ruhl's portrayal of grief isn't solely about despair. It’s also about the resilience of the human spirit and the capacity to find meaning even in the face of immense loss. Finally, love, in its complexities and contradictions, forms the core of the narrative. The play questions the nature of love, its lasting power, and the ways in which it can both sustain and ultimately fail us.
Orpheus: A New Perspective
Ruhl's portrayal of Orpheus significantly diverges from traditional depictions. While he is still driven by his love for Eurydice, his methods are often flawed and ultimately ineffective. He is portrayed as a more complex, even flawed character, highlighting the limitations of even the most passionate love. This nuanced portrayal adds depth to the story, avoiding simplistic archetypes and allowing the audience to engage with a more humanized Orpheus.
The Impact and Reception of Eurydice
Since its premiere, Eurydice has garnered significant critical acclaim and continues to be produced and studied globally. Its unique approach to a classic myth, its powerful female protagonist, and its exploration of universal themes have struck a chord with audiences and critics alike. The play's inventive staging possibilities and relatable characters make it a popular choice for both professional and amateur theatre productions. The play’s enduring popularity is a testament to its ability to connect with audiences on a deeply emotional level.
Why Eurydice Remains Relevant Today
Eurydice's enduring relevance lies in its exploration of universal themes that transcend time and cultural boundaries. The play’s exploration of grief, memory, and the complexities of love continues to resonate with audiences grappling with similar experiences. Its unconventional structure and feminist perspective challenge traditional theatrical norms, offering a fresh and compelling perspective on a classic myth. By giving voice to Eurydice, Ruhl creates a powerful and enduring work that inspires conversation and reflection on the human condition.
Conclusion:
Sarah Ruhl's Eurydice is more than just a retelling of a classic myth; it's a powerful and moving exploration of love, loss, and memory.

Watching it, we enter a singular, surreal world, as lush and limpid as a dream—an anxiety dream of love and loss—where both author and audience swim in the magical, sometimes menacing, and always thrilling flow of the unconscious… Ruhl’s theatrical voice is reticent and daring, accurate and outlandish.” —John Lahr, New Yorker A reimagining of the classic myth of Orpheus through the eyes of its heroine. Dying too young on her wedding day, Eurydice journeys to the underworld, where she reunites with her beloved father and struggles to recover lost memories of her husband and the world she left behind. |

Ruhl's unique, breezily elegant dialogue is fully present, as is her pleasingly loopy logic.—Variety In the smart, rollicking Stage Kiss . . . passion and fidelity engage in a kind of elegant pas de deux. . . .

| sarah ruhl eurydice: Orpheus & Eurydice Gregory Orr, 2012-12-11 How can I celebrate love/ now that I know what it does? So begins this booklength lyric sequence which reinhabits and modernizes the story of Orpheus, the mythic master of the lyre (and father of lyric poetry) and Eurydice, his lover who died and whom Orpheus tried to rescue from Hades. Gregory Orr uses as his touchstone the assertion that myths attempt to narrate a whole human experience, while at the same time serving a purpose which resists explanation. Through poems of passionate and obsessive erotic love, Orr has dramatized the anguished intersection of infinite longings and finite lives and, in the process, explores the very sources of poetry. When Eurydice saw him huddled in a thick cloak, she should have known he was alive, the way he shivered beneath its useless folds. But what she saw was the usual: a stranger confused in a new world. And when she touched him on the shoulder, it was nothing personal, a kindness he misunderstood. To guide someone through the halls of hell is not the same as love. A reader unfamiliar with Orr’s work may be surprised, at first, by the richness of both action and visual detail that his succinct, spare poems convey. Lyricism can erupt in the midst of desolation.—Boston Globe When Gregory Orr’s Burning the Empty Nest appear, Publisher’s Weekly praised it as an auspicious debut for a gifted newcomer…he already demonstrates a superior control of his medium. Kirkus Review celebrated it as an almost unbearably powerful first book of poetry and enthusiastically reviewed his second book Gathering the Bones Together, noting that Orr’s power is the eloquence of understatement. Most recently, his City of Salt was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Award. Gregory Orr teaches at the University of Virginia. |

| sarah ruhl eurydice: How to Think Like Shakespeare Scott Newstok, 2021-08-31 This book offers a short, spirited defense of rhetoric and the liberal arts as catalysts for precision, invention, and empathy in today's world. The author, a professor of Shakespeare studies at a liberal arts college and a parent of school-age children, argues that high-stakes testing and a culture of assessment have altered how and what students are taught, as courses across the arts, humanities, and sciences increasingly are set aside to make room for joyless, mechanical reading and math instruction. Students have been robbed of a complete education, their imaginations stunted by this myopic focus on bare literacy and numeracy. Education is about thinking, Newstok argues, rather than the mastery of a set of rigidly defined skills, and the seemingly rigid pedagogy of the English Renaissance produced some of the most compelling and influential examples of liberated thinking. Each of the fourteen chapters explores an essential element of Shakespeare's world and work, aligns it with the ideas of other thinkers and writers in modern times, and suggests opportunities for further reading. Chapters on craft, technology, attention, freedom, and related topics combine past and present ideas about education to build a case for the value of the past, the pleasure of thinking, and the limitations of modern educational practices and prejudices-- |

| sarah ruhl eurydice: Letters from Max Sarah Ruhl, Max Ritvo, 2018-09-18 A real professor and her student forge a friendship through correspondence as they discuss love, art, life, cancer, and death. In 2012, Sarah Ruhl was a distinguished author and playwright, twice a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Max Ritvo, a student in her playwriting class at Yale University, was an exuberant, opinionated, and highly gifted poet. He was also in remission from pediatric cancer. Over the next four years—in which Ritvo’s illness returned and his health declined, even as his productivity bloomed—the two exchanged letters that spark with urgency, humor, and the desire for connection. Reincarnation, books, the afterlife as an Amtrak quiet car, good soup: in Ruhl and Ritvo’s exchanges, all ideas are fair, nourishing game, shared and debated in a spirit of generosity and love. “We’ll always know one another forever, however long ever is,” Ritvo writes. “And that’s all I want—is to know you forever.” Studded with poems and songs, Letters from Max is a deeply moving portrait of a friendship, and a shimmering exploration of love, art, mortality, and the afterlife. Praise for Letters from Max “An unusual, beautiful book about nothing less than the necessity of art in our lives. Two big-hearted, big-brained writers have allowed us to eavesdrop on their friendship: jokes and heartbreaks, admiration, hard work, tender work.” —Elizabeth McCracken, author of Bowlaway “Immediate comparisons will be made to Rainer Maria Rilke’s Letters to a Young Artist . . . this book is a nuanced look at the evolution of an incredible talent facing mortality and the mentor, never condescending, who recognizes his gift. Their infectious letters shine with a love of words and beauty.” —The Observer “Deeply moving, often heartbreaking. . . . A captivating celebration of life and love.” —Kirkus Reviews “Moving and erudite . . . devastating and lyrical . . . Ruhl draws a comparison between their correspondence and that between poets Robert Lowell and Elizabeth Bishop, and indeed, with the depth and intelligence displayed, one feels in the presence of literary titans.” —Publishers Weekly |

When a Tibetan lama and a monk come to their home unexpectedly, asking to take their child away for a life of spiritual training in India, the parents must make a life-altering choice that will test their strength, their marriage, and their hearts. The Oldest Boy is a richly emotional journey filled with music, dance, puppetry, ritual, and laughter—Sarah Ruhl at her imaginative best. A meditation on attachment and unconditional love, the play asks us to believe in a world in which sometimes the youngest children are also the oldest and wisest teachers. |
| sarah ruhl eurydice: Chekhov's Three Sisters and Woolf's Orlando Virginia Woolf, Anton Chekhov, 2013-05-17 [Ruhl's Orlando] captures both the intellectual spirit and the literary brilliance of Woolf's work. . . . Ruhl writes with the imaginative sweep that allows Woolf's poetry to soar.—Variety Sarah Ruhl's smart new translation [of Three Sisters] feels just right to contemporary American ears—lean, colloquial, and conversational for us and true to Chekhov's original work.—The Cincinnati Enquirer In her stage adaptation of Virginia Woolf's gender-bending, period-hopping novel, award-winning playwright Sarah Ruhl is her usual unfailingly elegant, unbeatably witty self, cleverly braiding her own brand-name wit with Woolf's (New York )magazine. Preserving Woolf's vital ideas and lyrical tone, Ruhl brings to the stage the life of an Elizabethan nobleman who's magically transformed into an immortal woman. In her fresh translation of Three Sisters, the Anton Chekhov classic of ennui and frustration, Ruhl employs her signature lyricism and elegant understanding of intimacy to reveal the discontent felt by fretful Olga, unhappy Masha, and idealistic Irina as they long to leave rural Russia for the ever-alluring Moscow. Sarah Ruhl's other plays include the Pulitzer Prize finalists In the Next Room (or the vibrator play) and The Clean House, as well as Passion Play, Dean Man's Cell Phone, Demeter in the City, Eurydice, Melancholy Play, and Late: a cowboy song.

Writing from and toward “the endless desire / to be at home in the world,” Sarah Ruhl wrote Love Poems in Quarantine to mark the passage of time when all familiar landmarks disappeared. From the dawn of the COVID-19 pandemic, to the murder of George Floyd, to months of simultaneous quarantine and protest, this is—in free verse and form, lamentation and meditation—a book of days, a survival kit for spiritual malady. These poems find small solace in domestic absurdities. Even in global crisis, there is the laundry. The dog rolls in something putrid, the child interrupts a Zoom meeting, and dinner must get made, again and again. Using language to travel and touch when bodies could not, Ruhl has drawn with great care a portrait of a year unlike any other in history. |

| sarah ruhl eurydice: The Long Christmas Ride Home Paula Vogel, 2004-10-01 “Brilliant . . . even more ambitious than Vogel’s How I Learned to Drive . . . it covers more ground and is bolder in its storytelling. Vogel’s language is at its most poetic, eloquent and elegiac. In fact, its vivid imagery rivals the prose style of any great American short story writer. The play sounds like it might have been adapted from a beautiful, undiscovered novella.”—New Haven Register “One of the most absorbing evenings of theatre to come along in some time.”—Variety Past and present collide on a snowy Christmas Eve for a troubled family of five. Humorous and heart-wrenching, this beautifully written play proves that magic can be found in the simplest breaths of life. Combining the elements of No theatre and Bunraku with contemporary Western sensibilities, Vogel’s Ride is a mesmerizing homage to the works of Thornton Wilder, including Our Town. A moving and memorable study of the American family careening near the edge of oblivion.

| sarah ruhl eurydice: Situated Narratives and Sacred Dance Jill Flanders Crosby, JT Torres, 2023-02-14 Using storytelling and performance to explore shared religious expression across continents Through a revolutionary ethnographic approach that foregrounds storytelling and performance as alternative means of knowledge, Situated Narratives and Sacred Dance explores shared ritual traditions between the Anlo-Ewe people of West Africa and their descendants, the Arará of Cuba, who were brought to the island in the transatlantic slave trade. The volume draws on two decades of research in four communities: Dzodze, Ghana; Adjodogou, Togo; and Perico and Agramonte, Cuba. In the ceremonies, oral narratives, and daily lives of individuals at each fieldsite, the authors not only identify shared attributes in religious expression across continents, but also reveal lasting emotional, spiritual, and personal impacts in the communities whose ancestors were ripped from their homeland and enslaved. The authors layer historiographic data, interviews, and fieldnotes with artistic modes such as true fiction, memoir, and choreographed narrative, challenging the conventional nature of scholarship with insights gained from sensorial experience. Including reflections on the making of an art installation based on this research project, the volume challenges readers to imagine the potential of approaching fieldwork as artists. The authors argue that creative methods can convey truths deeper than facts, pointing to new possibilities for collaboration between scientists and artists with relevance to any discipline. Publication of the paperback edition made possible by a Sustaining the Humanities through the American Rescue Plan grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. |

| sarah ruhl eurydice: The Drama and Theatre of Sarah Ruhl Amy Muse, 2018-07-26 Sarah Ruhl is one of the most highly-acclaimed and frequently-produced American playwrights of the 21st century. Author of eighteen plays and the essay collection 100 Essays I Don't Have Time to Write, she has won a MacArthur “Genius” Grant and the Steinberg Distinguished Playwright Award, been nominated for a Tony Award for In the Next Room or the vibrator play and twice been a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for The Clean House and In the Next Room. Ruhl is a writer unafraid of the soul. She writes not about “this or that issue,” but “about being,” creating plays that ask “big questions about death, love, and how we should treat each other in this lifetime.” In this volume, Amy Muse situates Ruhl as an artist-thinker and organizes her work around its artistic and ethical concerns. Through a finely-grained account of each play, readers are guided through Ruhl's early influences, the themes of intimacy, transcendence, and communion, and her inventive stagecraft to dramatize “moments of being” onstage. Enriched by essays from scholars Jill Stevenson, Thomas Butler, and Christina Dokou, an interview with directors Sarah Rasmussen and Hayley Finn, and a chronology of Ruhl's life and work, this is a companionable guide for students of American drama and theatre studies. Amy Muse specializes in dramatic literature and performance studies at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, where she is Associate Professor and Chair of the English Department. She is the author of “Sarah Ruhl's Sex Ed for Grownups” (Text & Presentation 2013) and essays on Romantic drama, intimate theatre, female Hamlets, and travel in Romantic Circles, Romanticism: The Journal of Romantic Culture & Criticism, Frontiers, and other journals.
