Arachne
by Britt Anderson
Directed by Alex Mallory
A dramatic comedy about friendship, fiber arts, and mythological revenge.
Athena (Goddess of Justice and Handicrafts) launches into a public reading of her long-awaited memoir, until a mysterious force curses her to reveal the WHOLE truth about her past. If she doesn’t, she’ll be coughing up webs for the rest of her immortal life. Using multiple characters, music, audience interaction and lots of handmade webs, Britt Anderson weaves a heartfelt, provoking, relevant tale about justice and accountability in female friendships.
This show is suitable for 16+ as it contains sensitive topics, cursing, and mild body horror.
