Eurydice, a play by Sarah Ruhl at the 2nd Stage Theatre. We went to New Haven to see "Eurydice," the Sarah Ruhl play, based on the Orpheus legend, which is due to open in New York at the 2nd Stage Theatre with the same cast, director and production. Although this blog is dedicated to reviewing and recommending events we've seen in New York City, we've bent the rules for this play which we love and which left us shamelessy sobbing at its conclusion. After all a commute to New Haven from Princeton takes four hours and in fact our commute home was brutal. But it was worth every minute and mile to see this wonderful, sad, happy, heartbreaking and wise play by the extraordinary young Sarah Ruhl and I would urge readers of this blog to make every effort to see it in New York. Based on our New Haven experience "Eurydice" merits an A+
