A gentle, bittersweet
comedy about a young musician who knows
what she wants but is not quite sure
how to get it. Her parents are getting
divorced, her fiancé is
almost famous, her first love reappears,
and there's a lot of noise in her head
but none of it is music. Until the end. |

From the same author
who brought us “The
Clean House,” this beautiful new
play is a tale based on the Greek myth
of Orpheus that is “exhilarating” as
we enter a surreal world, as lush and
limpid as a dream. On the day Eurydice
is to marry her true love Orpheus, a
misstep sends her to the surreal depths
of the Underworld, where she has a surprising
reunion and ultimately must decide whether
to follow Orpheus back to the land of
the living. |
