Recommendations of Ariadne

  • Sarah Saltwick: Ariadne

    Such an exciting read - the reveals had me gasping! This play is in playful conservation with mythology but never gets bogged down in references. Instead, it feels original and lively. Wonderful visuals as well. A thrill to read.

  • Aly Kantor: Ariadne

    The only thing I love more than a radical adaptation of a Greek myth is one set in SPACE—and when that play is as clever and well-constructed as this one, I find myself utterly smitten! I love how all of the characters are smart, specific, and ambitious, especially the women. The balance of magic, spiritualism, technology, and pragmatism is fascinating - plus, I loved that knowing more about the original myth helped me put the pieces together, but the original storytelling still surprised me and kept me on my toes! Plus, the final haunting image? EVERYTHING!

    Two of my favorite things unexpectedly combined: Greek myth and science fiction! Absolutely delightful: absorbing, imaginative, and theatrical.

    So much fun! It's Greek myths reimagined on a spaceship! There's a murder mystery, intrigue, romance... everything for a great night of theatre paired with breezy dialog that flows fast and quick. I've never read anything like it. A total hoot!
