	Eurydice (play) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eurydice is a play by Sarah Ruhl which retells the myth Orpheus from the perspective of Eurydice, his wife.
		The story focuses on Eurydice's choice to return to earth with Orpheus or to stay in Hades with her father(a character created by Ruhl).
		The most noticeable of these changes was that in the myth Orpheus succumbs to his desires and looks back at Eurydice, while in Ruhl's version Eurydice calls out to Orpheus (causing him to look back) as a result of her desire to remain in the land of the dead with her father.

		Eurydice is in Rio running from a mysterious stranger who is trying to kill her for what appears to be no reason.
		Mira eventually becomes aware of the ruse and exposes Eurydice for who she actually is. The outcome of this, other than a brief fight with Mira, is that Eurydice has now been unmasked and shown to “Death” who will now hunt her down through the crowds as she runs away from Mira.
		Orpheus and Eurydice both dress in costumes that have an ancient Greek flare to them, the music, much like that of Orpheus, transports the audience to another level of reality and the character of Death pursuing Eurydice with no known motive seems able to blend into the frenzy that is Carnaval.

		“Eurydice” is a one-woman play chronicling the character’s emotional journey of coming to terms with her husband’s death.

		The Thracian Maenads were enraged (jealous?) by Orpheus' prolonged grief at this second loss of Eurydice because he before this he used to celebrate the rites of Bacchus with them.
		For while Eurydice sounds bitter in the begining of the poem, in the end she has found HERSELF as a source of strength: "At least I have the flowers of myself, and my thoughts, no god can take that; I have the fervour of myself for a presence and my own spirit for light".
		In her view, men and women are equals in the spiritual realm, not seeking the distinctions of fixed sex roles, but rather a mutual suffusion of insight and wisdom.

		From the beginning to the end of “The Damnation of Eurydice” the Walpolean political parallel is there, along with the Pillage-Spatter-Fielding theatrical parallels.
		And as Pillage begins to use promises of future parts and favours to convince his clients to attend the opening of “Eurydice” and applaud his farce, this house-packing effort shadows forth the House-packing, majority-seeking efforts of Walpole in 1733.

		With a play, it’s interesting to create a world that gets inhabited by people and the passage of time and movement, and I think when I first experienced that it was like taking crack for the first time.
		Sarah explains that the play began as an investigation of Melancholy as a category of emotion; then she took the cultural artifact of Melancholy and transformed it into something very modern.
		I think Ibsen said he would think about a play for a year, before he would write it, and I don’t go that far in terms of gestation, but if an image is lingering for 6 months, then it feels like it’s demanding out.

		He was the first to write in the music the names of the instruments he wanted to play each line of notes in the "score" (master copy of all the instrumental parts and vocal parts written together).
		The Greek myth of Orhpeus and Eurydice is the basis of the opera: Orpheus was the son of Apollo (the Sun god and god of music) and the Muse Calliope.
		The use of the chorus in Monteverdi's opera is a direct result of his (and his employer's) interest in ancient Greek culture, as the plays from that era were known to have choruses in them which provided commentary and a change of pace from the telling of the story.

	Review of Eurydice (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		In a station buffet Orpheus, a busking violinist, meets and falls instantly in amour fou with Eurydice, an actress in what Ken Campbell would call a "repertattery" company; deserting their father and mother respectively, they flee to a cheap hotel room, from which Eurydice disappears and is soon revealed to have died.
		The mysterious stranger who has been shadowing them offers Orpheus the chance of reunion on the familiar condition that he not look Eurydice in the face until morning; he does so, loses her again, and is again offered the opportunity of the ultimate reunion, in death; he takes it.
		The play is, after all, entitled Eurydice rather than Orpheus, and Godwin, Rosanna Lowe and Ian Targett all understand that this is where its centre lies.

	Jean Cocteau
		Trying to provide a more sober ambience for the play, Cocteau offers us his favorite guardian angel Heurtebise, who first watches over Eurydice (who is definitely enamored of him, if only because her husband is neglecting her for that pseudo-Pegasus); and at the end of the play his function will be to reunite the couple.
		Eurydice is as colorless and unromantic as she was in the play (in the film she is actually pregnant).
		It matters little in the film that at the end Orphée, reunited with a Eurydice he little cares for, says unconvincingly, "Il n’y a qu’un amour qui compte, c’est le nôtre(11)" and prepares to live like a good middle-class poet and head of household.
