Before Sarah Ruhl became a writer, she was a storyteller, dictating stories to her mother as a young child. Later, her mother brought Ruhl to play rehearsals, where Ruhl took notes as she watched the world of theater open up before her eyes. But her love of words came from her father, a toy marketer, who adored puns and playing with language. Sadly, he died of cancer when Ruhl was twenty years old. Still, he influenced the plays she would go on to write, plays that meditate on death, love, and loss. A perfect example is Eurydice. Ruhl wrote the play, which premiered in 2003, as a final conversation with her father. Setting the playwright in context to her personal life, social, historical and political events, other writers of influence, and more, you will quickly gain a deep understanding of Sarah Ruhl and the plays she wrote. Read Ruhl in an Hour and experience her plays like never before. Know the playwright, love the play!
