Traveling Players Presents: Ariadne's Thread by Judith Walsh White
“The thread’s on the spool,
The spool’s wound tight,
You must feel it in the dark, cause there is no light…”
This modern version of the Theseus and the Minotaur myth brings Greek mythology to life! Theseus is a young man on an adventure. As he makes his way to Athens to meet his father, he must fight bandits, carnivorous pigs, and travel to the underworld. He offers himself as tribute to King Minos to rid the murderous Minotaur.
But the story isn’t as simple as it seems. King Minos’ daughter Ariadne is willing to help, but only if Theseus promises not to kill the Minotaur, her half-brother. Will Theseus get out of the labyrinth alive? This gripping tale gives us new insight into the meaning of family.
Commissioned by Traveling Players to develop more challenging scripts for young actors, Judith Walsh White’s play was published by Theatrefolk with Traveling Players actors listed as Original Cast.
