by The Labyrinth & The Minotaur: The Incarceration Play Project
Once upon a time,
A monster was born, and we built a maze to lock it away.
But its cries from deep underground disturbed our sleep…
This epic new play dramatically reimagines the ancient myth of Theseus and his quest to kill the Minotaur, a half-man, half-beast trapped in a maze. The play layers stories from people who have spent their lives working and living inside a modern-day labyrinth—the Minnesota incarceration system, a place where lawyers, officers, educators, nurses and people who have broken laws and their families are trapped in a civilization all its own.
