Euridice

by Sarah Ruhl
directed by Frank Condon

Four Stars ****

“… trippy, bold, challenging.
A poetic vision unlike any other.”
 
~ The Sacramento Bee

Highest Rating
“Sometimes an artist who has enjoyed a notable, long, successful run
decides it’s time to go, and very consciously declares, ‘The end.’
Shakespeare did it with The Tempest.

And that’s what Frank Condon, who has directed an astonishingly
strong sequence of shows under the River Stage banner over the
past 16 years does with Eurydice … .

 … one of the most aching and memorable expressions of  grief and loss
this critic has seen on the stage. …. a vividly clear- and hallucinatory-
plunge into the agony and loneliness of the final, unalterable farewell. … powerful … visceral … awesome … .

It is a memorable farewell from a director who’s given us
many fine shows through the years.”
