LOVE IS THE GREATER LABYRINTH opens November 8th in the Ruth Caplin Theatre

The first mainstage production of UVA Department of Drama's 2024-2025 season opens next month in the Ruth Caplin Theatre. Love is the Greater Labyrinth, by the celebrated 17th-century Mexican playwright, philosopher, poet, feminist, and nun, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, is a retelling of the myth of Teseo (Theseus) and the Minotaur that journeys across nearly every theatrical genre, deftly hopping from swashbuckling adventure to complicated romance, darkly comedic tragedy, and sociopolitical commentary.
