"Dead people can't sing!"
This quote has the ability to encapsulate the play into one sentence. The stones actually yell it at Eurydice and her Father when they are singing "I Got Rhythm" together. I chose this quote because it deals with loss. It deals with holding on to what brings you love and joy in your life. I think that a production based on this quote would be about just that: clinging to whatever it is that brings you happiness in your life before it's all gone.
"How does a person remember to forget."
This quote is from Father after Eurydice leaves with Orpheus. He wants to forget her so as to not spend eternity missing her. I chose this quote because it's about letting go. A production based off of this quote would be about learning when you need to let go of the things that you love the most. It's interesting to me that this play is about both holding on and letting go at the same time.
Eurydice was a good play I liked the quotes you chose. Relating them to reality and seeing how they could make great poster captions was genius. My favorite is "How does a person remember to forget". I could almost imagine a poster with this quote on it.
