Eurydice (Anouilh play)

The play has also been performed under the title Point of Departure, a translation by Kitty Black, and on Broadway as Legend of Lovers, in a 1951 production by the Theatre Guild.

Eurydice rejects the advances of a young man named Matthew—who is her lover and a fellow member of the troupe.

Orphée is repulsed at the thought of Matthew having touched his love, but Eurydice reassures him that he and one other man who took her virginity are her only two previous lovers.

Offstage, Matthew throws himself under a train in despair of Eurydice's rejection, and humbled by this news, the couple runs away together.

However, Dulac had blackmailed her into doing it every time, threatening to fire a young, orphaned stage manager working in the troupe.

The police officer who found Eurydice's body enters, reading a letter that she wrote in the taxi to Orphée.
