“Eurydice,” by Sarah Ruhl and directed by Dawn McAndrews, is planned for July 28 through Aug. 19 at Cumston Hall, at 796 Main St. in Monmouth.
Stage times are 7:30 p.m. July 28, 29, Aug. 6, 11, 17 and 19; 7 p.m. Aug. 14; and 1 p.m. Aug. 3, 7, and 13.
On her wedding day, Eurydice falls victim to a tragic accident that sends her hurtling into the Underworld, erasing her memory and reuniting her with her long-dead father. When Orpheus arrives to save his bride, Eurydice is torn between her desire to return to the real world and the tender relationship she rediscovers with her father in the afterlife. Brimming with lyrical beauty, and Ruhl’s trademark wit, Eurydice is a visceral and surreal mediation on love worth grieving for.
