Description:

A solo show that reimagines the myth of the Goddess of Justice and the first spider. Athena is remaking her image for the modern world by hosting her own book launch party. Everything falls apart when a mysterious force curses her to cough up spiderwebs until she tells the truth about her past injustices as Olympus' judge. Using a handful of props, handmade webs, and a bunch of sheep, Britt Anderson is 'masterful' as they weave 'the perfect balance of fantasy, clever humour and modern interjections' **** (TheatreWeekly.com). (Recommended Show, FringeReview).
