Ambitious, Funny, Clever, Quirky, Entertaining

See it if you appreciate parodies or mashups of mythology in a modern context, like ensemble based theatrics with narrative movement to support text.

Don't see it if you are easily offended by strong language, nudity or stylized simulation of sex.

Original, Raunchy, Funny, Confusing, Quirky

See it if you like Greek mythology, you like characters breaking the fourth wall, or you like talking crabs.

Don't see it if you have strong aversions to foul language or female nudity, are bored by Greek mythos, or want straight-forward storytelling.

Theatre is Easy
August 19th, 2016

"Miller's writing is honest, though it occasionally overuses 'fuck' instead of going after some more meaningful dialogue...Wigglesworth’s direction is surprisingly conventional and can move slowly...'Ariadne' wants to be dirtier than it is...I do dig what The Cutout Theatre is trying to do. Their truthful, no bullshit mission is spot-on to unlock some quality storytelling. I’m curious to see what that means outside the confines of Fringe."
