Dying too young on her wedding day, Eurydice must journey to the underworld, where she reunites with her father and struggles to remember her lost love. In Eurydice, Sarah Ruhl reimagines the classic myth of Orpheus through the eyes of its heroine. With contemporary poetic language, ingenious plot twists, and a touch of the absurd, the play is a fresh look at a timeless story. Get your tickets now!

For all those who wondered what the answer to the last post about our next production was… 🥁 🐺 “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” by Edward Albee Albee’s riveting drama delves into the complexities of marriage and the intricate facades people construct to mask their truths. Over the course of one evening, the play unfolds in the home of George and Martha, a middle-aged couple, who invite a younger couple, Nick and Honey, to their home after a party. What begins as a casual, albeit late-night, gathering soon escalates into a night of games that become increasingly aggressive and emotionally charged, revealing deep-seated resentments and bitter truths about their relationships. 🗓️ 13-23 of June 📍@teatrodobairro | R. Luz Soriano 63, 1200-246 Lisboa 🎟️ Tickets will be available soon at https://www.bol.pt/ With: Celia Williams // @celia.doubleyou Elizabeth Bochmann// @wizbochmann Martim Mesquita Guimarães // @martimesquitaguim Mick Greer // @greermargarido Director: Robert Tayl

“Lovesick ” by Caryl Churchill – radio play adapted for theatre Written by British playwright Caryl Churchill – considered to be one of the greatest living playwrights – “Lovesick” is based in the 1970’s and follows the lives of a psychiatrist and several of his patients. His experimental treatments yield many problems, where family and love plots intersect with murderers and troubling pathologies, raising pressing ethical questions. This stylised adaptation of Churchill’s radio play adopts physical theatre and other non-naturalistic theatre forms to navigate through the powerful images and events of the narrative. 🗓️ 6-16 of July 📍@hangarespacocultural | Rua de Campolide 27A 1070-026 Lisbon 🎟️ Reservations available on Lisbon Players’ website. 🎟️ With: David Bernardino Inês da Cruz Oliveira Leonardo Proganó Marco Fernandes Martim Mesquita Guimarães Director: Manuela Sampaio Assistant Director: Federica Balbi Production and Stage Management: Marta Nagy Po
