Ten-Minute Plays:
Ariadne's LamentA One Woman, Ten-Minute Tragic MonologueLoosely based on Catullus 64.Is this how you repay my love? With this? This beach? These: sands are all that I possess? And now you dip your paddle in the deep. No wind; no sail; not a breath of cloud: Such was your haste to leave 'fore I awoke. And now you leave me here to die? Alone? That night shall fall and beasts shall shred my flesh? Ariadne, left to die upon her desert island, wakes to find her lover fled, awash in virgin blood she gave the night before. She helped her lover, Theseus, to kill the mighty Minotaur, and so betrayed her country, Crete, and Father, King, and Mother, hearth and home. Ariadne, walking corpse, calls upon the vengeful Furies Three, and Zeus himself pays heed.
