Bone to Pick & Diadem

About This Show:

Back by popular demand, Cutting Ball Theater presents playwright Eugenie Chans BONE TO PICK. Re-telling the myth of Ariadne in a dizzyingly postmodern look at the costs of love and war, this incendiary play, commissioned by Cutting Ball Theater and Magic Theatre/Z Space New Works Initiative and nominated for the Glickman prize for Best New Play in the Bay Area, received its World Premiere during last years Avant GardARAMA!, becoming a stand-out of the season. The San Francisco Chronicle dubbed the production richly rewarding right down to its marrow, noting Paige Rogers performance as riveting; Rogers will reprise her tour de force role for this re-staging.

Accompanying BONE TO PICK is a newly commissioned companion piece, also by Chan, called DIADEM, a romantic retelling of the earlier parts of Ariadnes myth, when she was young and in love. Together, these two original works will convey the complete story of Ariadnes epic romance.
