Bone to Pick & Diadem

Back by popular demand, Cutting Ball Theater presents playwright Eugenie Chan's 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.

BONE TO PICK & DIADEM run approximately 90 minutes, including a 15-minute intermission.
