Melbourne Shakespeare Company is proud to present Sarah Ruhl’s Eurydice – a luminous, poetic reimagining of the Greek myth, directed by multi-award-winner Gary Abrahams.
Following acclaimed sold-out seasons at fortyfivedownstairs, Melbourne Shakespeare Company returns with a production of exceptional artistic ambition and emotional power. Through Ruhl’s distinctive voice, the story of Eurydice and Orpheus is retold from a female perspective, weaving memory, love, and loss into a dreamlike theatrical experience.
Eurydice offers Melbourne audiences a rare chance to see a modern masterpiece staged with depth and imagination. This is theatre for those who love bold, beautiful storytelling.

Ticket fees are charged reluctantly. As an unfunded CBD located venue, our expenses continue to rise. If fortyfivedownstairs is to survive, we are obliged to increase our revenue without inflicting costs on already struggling artists. Without support, we risk losing artists or having to close our doors. We do hope for your understanding!
