The Red Thread (And Other Mingled Yarns)

A One Woman Show, written and Performed by Ellie Reynolds

Ellie’s third solo show picks up a red thread and unspools it, while asking the big questions: are the events of our lives somehow inevitable? Are we fated or doomed to love one person, and what is the Red Thread of Destiny that ties us to one another, and to our own past?

Three mysterious yarn-spinning goddesses of Fate aid Ellie through the labyrinth, as she wrestles with her lot in (increasingly middle) life, reminding us all how telling stories can help us understand how the threads of our lives can stretch, mingle and twist to form webs of connection across time and space.

Moving between the worlds of Greek Myth, to Shakespeare, to North London and Denver Colorado in the eighties, through to the present moment in the Kootenays – The Red Thread is an earnest, yet playful exploration of the role of Fate in our lives and the yarns we spin to try and make sense of it all.
