Theseus &The Minotaur is a fantastic and entertaining play about the legend of Prince Theseus, which can inspire and enthuse your pupils. This easy to stage is perfect for it contains multi roles.
Theseus, the brave prince of Athens, volunteers to travel to Crete with a group of young Athenians who are being sent as a sacrifice to the terrifying Minotaur. The monster lives in the Labyrinth, a huge maze from which no one has ever escaped.
Before entering the maze, Princess Ariadne gives Theseus a ball of thread so he can find his way back. Deep inside the Labyrinth, Theseus battles and defeats the Minotaur. Using Ariadne’s thread, he leads the others safely out of the maze.
Theseus returns home as a hero, having freed Athens from the Minotaur’s terror forever. However, he forgets to change his ship’s black sail to a white one, causing his father, King Aegeus, to believe he has died. Heartbroken, the king throws himself into the sea, which is later named the Aegean Sea.
