From the endless horizon where the sea blends seamlessly into the summer sky, to the dank, dark, and dripping Underworld, Sarah Ruhl's Eurydice provides a creative team with a lot of possibilities.  Scenic designer, Ryan McGettigan, and director, Maura Hanlon, knew from the beginning that their goal was to veer off from any typical depiction life and death.  

"To the two of us, what was really important was the ability to portray the polarity of the two worlds.  Two opposites, yes, but that live and rely on each other.  A reflection on the water," says McGettigan. "Granted, the real joy of Eurydice is in it's humor. Maintaining a sense of whimsy and the absurd were vital."

Influenced by corroded sewers under the city of lights, a gilt glitz and glamour nestled somewhere between Beaux Arts and Art Deco, and an homage or two to antiquity, the creative team's vision is continually evolving.  

"To me, that's where the real fun in this job is," says Ryan. "Getting together with a group of people with ideas just as crazy as yours and seeing where those ideas take you."
