BREAKDOWN
The Minotaur
by Anna Ziegler
Characters
3M, 3W
MINOTAUR - Male, late teens to 20s. He should be slim, perhaps gaunt. Hungry. Edgy. Sexual. Fierce. An underlying sadness seeps through his outward cruelty and intellectual remove.
ARIADNE - Female, late teens to 20s. Interested in the meaning of love, and life. Intelligent. Spiky. Spunky.
THESEUS - Male, late teens to 20s. In search of adventure. He’s lived rarefied air, a prep school boy who’s had every advantage in the world.
PRIEST - Male, 40s or older. He wears a habit, and his intellectualism on his deep black sleeve. The smartest guy in the room—unless God’s there, of course.
RABBI - Female, 40s or older. She is incredibly warm and not afraid of anyone. She wears a tallis, and under it, billowing clothes.
LAWYER - Male, 40s or older. They come in all shapes and sizes. This one is not atypical. A man in a precisely tailored suit. He is sarcastic, cynical, and to the point.
