THE MINOTAUR

A young man with the head of a bull paces his cage and contemplates his fate. Across the sea a warrior sets sail with just one goal.  Between them, a girl is ready take on the world… as soon as she can win a Connect Four game.  In this smart and sexy modern retelling of the famous myth, playwright Anna Ziegler (Photograph 51, Dov and Ali)  creates a whimsical, haunting and poignant tale about the difficulty of writing your own story.

*WHAT IS A JOINT WORLD PREMIERE?

Rorschach Theatre is thrilled to be presenting its first joint world premiere with Synchronicity Theatre. Their production ran from October 26 – November 11, 2012. But what is a “Joint World Premiere”?

Often, a playwright gets a full production of a show (the world premiere) but then has to wait for a year or more until a second theatre picks it up.  With the ‘Joint World Premiere’ model, theatres around the country are coming together to produce new work in a faster and more ambitious time frame.

How it works: 2 or more theatres come together and agree to produce the work within 12 months of each other. The playwright gets multiple productions with different artistic teams in a compressed time, which really gets the artistic juices flowing for a new play; and the theatres (and our audiences!) don’t have to wait to see great work.
