FRAGMENTS is currently in quarantine.
Our postponed show is penciled for 2021 - watch this space for updates. In the meantime, you can listen to our two-part podcast (scroll on down!) in which co-writers Laura and Russell discuss the ideas in developing the show.
“You. Here. Take them! Your own sliver of this story. These are the scraps that remain. You must help me weave a spell.”
Three papyrologists pore over some tattered fragments of papyrus, two thousand years old. Could they be the remnants of a lost masterpiece? The Muse, Daughter of Memory, is about to bring these shadowy lines to life…
FRAGMENTS searches for the myth of Aeyptus, a boy brought up to avenge his murdered father and brothers. Piecing his story together will take you on a journey around the fragments of your own life: memories, conjectures, things half-heard.
Springing from the one surviving scene and scattered bits of text of an otherwise lost play by Euripides, FRAGMENTS is an inventive, exhilarating adventure to the spaces in between.
