Long After the Labyrinth
Upstairs at the Gatehouse
Long After the Labyrinth Crete 1944. A young girl hides in the hollow of an ancient olive tree, watching helplessly, as her family are rounded up and loaded onto trucks. A horned shadow looms and she finds herself falling… falling… This epic new play is inspired by the Minotaur and the true tale of the lost Jews of Crete. A gripping narrative told via text, movement and shadow-play, we follow the life of Rena Depas on her labyrinthine quest to find peace in the wake of violence. For this production, NMT Automatics have brought together a team of creatives, who have worked with some of the most internationally renowned contemporary theatre companies, including: 1927, Gecko, Theatre Re, Ephemeral Ensemble, and Les Enfants Terribles. Praise for previous productions: "“This is a kill shot. A gripping, bold and exciting new work.”" ★★★★★ Broadway Baby "“… a must-see piece of theatre”" ★★★★★ Theatre Weekly "“A visual statement.”" ★★★★ The Stage Produced by NMT Automatics, Chromolume, and the Ancient Peace Studies Network Supported by Arts Council England, The Society for Classical Studies, St Andrews University, East London & Essex Liberal Synagogue, JW3, and Etz Hayyim Synagogue, Crete. Running time: 2 hours including an interval · Age guidance: 12+
