The UVA Drama season wanders open with Love is the Greater Labyrinth, a retelling of the Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur. The show features a new translation of the final work written by revolutionary 17th-century Mexican playwright Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. Guest director Anna Rebek draws a mixture of comedy, tragedy, adventure, and romance from a cast of student actors. Conquering the Minotaur is just the beginning for the character of Tesio, as he navigates a maze of mistaken identities, dueling affections, and the wrath of King Minos.
Friday 11/8 – Saturday 11/16. $8–14, Showtimes vary. Ruth Caplin Theatre, 109 Culbreth Rd. drama.virginia.edu
