Eurydice at Four County Players through 5/24

Director Devynn Thomas brings a fresh take on one of the most frequently retold Greek myths with playwright Sarah Ruhl’s Eurydice. This reimagining breathes new life into the classic tale of Orpheus’ descent to the underworld, centering the plot around the perspective of its heroine. Employing contemporary characters and ingenious plot twists, the impactful story of love lost stars Kate Johnson as Eurydice, Robert Wray as Her Father, Alex Griffith as Orpheus, and ‘Derby Thomas’ as Lord of the Underworld. $15, times vary.
