Current conditions make it seem impossible to produce a play, but Grinnell students have done it again.
The Grinnell College theatre and dance department’s production of Sarah Ruhl’s Eurydice will be broadcasted Friday, Saturday and Sunday as a recorded show for everyone who is registered to watch.
The play is a 2006 adaption to the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Assistant Professor of Theatre, Irma Mayorga, is directing and said that she chose this play because the focus on grief and loss reminds her of the moment that we are all living through.
The play follows Eurydice, newly married to Orpheus, as her grief over her dead father brings her to the underworld. Within the play, Eurydice spends time with her father in the underworld, trying to understand her own painful memories and her father’s mortality.
