Eurydice- One of the Best Shows of the Season. - By Shana Basnight

Please go see Eurydice at the Alliance. It is showing until April 13. Eurydice is a wonderfully written, extremely well-performed unique production. I loved every moment of the show and I was distraught when the play ended. After you finish reading the rest of this review, please call your closest friends and family members and purchase tickets to the show. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

I adored Eurydice, written by the incredibly talented Ms. Sarah Ruhl, because its a great love story. It shows the passionate love between newlyweds and the unbreakable bond between a father and a daughter. The play masterfully converts a Greek mythology into a modern-day comical story that maintains the humor while providing the serious thought provoking themes. If you need one more compelling reason to go see the play, please go for The Stones and The Lord of the Underworld. The Lord or the Underworld was definitely my favorite character, as he reminded me of another one of my favorite movies, The Waterboy.

Hopefully you are making plans to go see this show. Just in case you need a quick reminder of the reasons why you absolutely cannot miss the performance of Eurydice, here are my top three reasons. 3) It is sincerely entertaining. You can easily relate to the characters and they are funny. Did I mention the Lord of the Underworld? 2) It is fresh, modern, and hip. You will forget that you are watching a Greek mythology story. 1) The Alliance knows great theater and brings the best shows to Atlanta (period).
