Summary

In Ariadne’s Thread, Chicago playwright Ann Noble has created a modern-day
maze of marriages, love affairs, family relationships, births and deaths for
seven contemporary women to negotiate. Three cities and fourteen
telephones are their threads in this funny, touching and topical story of
intersecting lives. Yet despite all the talking, is anybody really
communicating? When random connections start to form patterns, each
character discovers how deep her resources are for love, humor and
compassion, and whether the path through the labyrinth of life will be as
frightening as originally thought.
