Long After the Labyrinth

Crete 1944. A young girl hides in the hollow of an ancient olive tree, watching helplessly, as her family are rounded up and loaded onto trucks. A horned shadow looms and she finds herself falling… falling…

This epic new play is inspired by the Minotaur and the true tale of the lost Jews of Crete. A gripping narrative told via text, movement and shadow-play, we follow the life of Rena Depas on her labyrinthine quest to find peace in the wake of violence.

For this production, NMT Automatics have brought together a team of creatives, who have worked with some of the most internationally renowned contemporary theatre companies, including: 1927, Gecko, Theatre Re, Ephemeral Ensemble, and Les Enfants Terribles.

Produced by NMT Automatics, Chromolume, and the Ancient Peace Studies Network and supported by Arts Council England, The Society for Classical Studies, JW3, Etz Hayyim Synagogue, Crete, and St Andrews University.

We are looking for 2 highly skilled actors (1 female, 1 male) between ages 30-50, who are extremely confident with text as well as movement to play multiple roles with an age range from 7 to 70.

Please note, the play is set half in Crete and half in England, as such both performers will need to be able to do Greek and British accents. We are particularly interested to see people who are of Greek or Greek/British heritage.

To apply, please check out all the dates and brief below, our website (www.nmtautomatics.com) and associated links, and send your CV and a covering letter/video outlining your experience and why you’d like to work on this project to [email protected].

Deadline for applications is 23:59 on the 14th of July
