Notes:

Original Playwright - Homayun Ghanizadeh

Synopsis:

A variation on the familiar Greek myth, this hour-long Iranian production sees maze-maker Daedalus and his son Icarus themselves imprisoned in the labyrinth he made to house the Minotaur. The incoming audience discover them already in the theatre running hither and thither and hammering away at three metal constructions, which they continue to do for the first half of the play. Even those who do not know the ancient story of their flight from Crete would guess from their aviator's helmets and goggles and long coats that they are building is a flying machine. Their legs are encased in ringed stockings, giving a clown-like look which intensifies the zany way in which they conduct themselves, moving in straight lines with careful right-angle turns.
- Howard Loxton, British Theatre Guide
