Shattered romance and the underworld meet when the Northeast State Department of Theatre proudly presents a production of Eurydice from playwright Sarah Ruhl. This updated version of the ancient Greek drama takes audiences through the pain of lost love and the perils of fate.
Eurydice reimagines the classic myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Ruhl’s version tells the story not through Orpheus’s infamous pilgrimage to retrieve his bridge, but through the eyes of its heroine. Dying too young on her wedding day, Eurydice must journey to the underworld, where she reunites with her father and struggles to remember her lost love. What does fate hold for Orpheus and Eurydice? Can true love be reunited?
Combining classic Greek tragedy, compelling characters, and Northeast State Theatre’s award-winning sound and visual creations, the play takes a fresh look at a timeless love story. The play is being directed by T.J. Kent, associate professor of Theatre at Northeast State.
Opening night is April 20. The curtain goes up at 7:30 p.m. Evening performances continue April 21 and 22 at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. One matinee performance is scheduled April 23 at 2:00 p.m. All performances take place at the Ballad Health Performing Arts Center on the Blountville campus next to Tri-Cities Airport. Tickets are $10 general admission and $8 for groups of 10 or more.
This play is being presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc., a Concord Theatricals Company. In compliance with the American Disabilities Act, Northeast State honors requests for reasonable accommodations made by individuals with disabilities. Direct requests can be made at least 10 days in advance to (voice and TTY) 423.279.7640.
