Carousel Theatre in Indianola continues the showing of Eurydice tonight. Eurydice is a re-imagining of the greek myth of Orpheus, and actor Joel Hade tells KNIA News the production might be a bit different if anyone is a scholar of greek myths.
“This is a really fascinating interpretation. The author Sarah Ruhl lost her father to cancer at a relatively young age, and she ended up writing this modern interpretation almost as a conversation with him, her last conversation. So this spins more around Eurydice going to the Underworld and being reunited with her father who is already there, and the difficulty she has in trying to decide to go back to Orpheus or stay with her father. It’s a fascinating telling, very deep and very moving, a beautiful story.”
The production will take place at Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Innovations at 117 E Salem Ave tonight and March 13th and 14th at 7pm, and March 8th and 15th at 2pm. Tickets for adults cost $10, and students cost $5
