The U of M’s department of Theater Arts and Dance opened "Eurydice" this weekend. If you haven’t checked it out, you ought to. But as a broader note, if you haven’t checked out the show's playwright, Sarah Ruhl, you really ought to.
The title of this blog is a little ridiculous because she’s one of the most produced contemporary playwrights out there. Ruhl’s poetic, she’s got heart and isn’t afraid to embrace weirdness (check out this play to get a taste), so, to both theater and non-theater people, I encourage you take a step into her world.
1. Check out this interview between her and Paula Vogel.
2. Get some insight on her process with her segment on NPR's Morning Edition.
4. Watch a chunk of Second Stage Theatre's production of "Eurydice."
