Shadowpath is committed to creating accessible theatre.

ACCESSIBILITY - About 15 minutes of gentle walking is required. Approx 5 minutes of standing is required for TWO scenes = 10 minutes. There is a narrow passageway at one point for about 10 seconds and walking on an uneven gravel area for 2 minutes. For those with accessibility needs, please let us know any access needs and accommodations you require. We have alternate routes, accesiblity guides and CHAIRS! Support Staff is welcome free of charge.

NOTE: At the end of the play, it is a 5 minute walk back to cars parked at the library.

Small audiences meet at Newmarket Library where they check in and recieve an iPad that they will share with one other guest or use on their own. Tour guides will then lead them down a path that introduces them to Callimachus and his world of love, guilt and sacrifice. Ending at a secret location, audiences discover who the real martyr truly is.

The Story:

Callimachus is obsessed with Drusiana and attempts to seduce her. Drusiana successfully prays for death in order to escape Callimachus’s advances. Still madly in love, Callimachus goes to her tomb where he too meets his death, until Saint John resurrects them both for a second chance to make amends.

'Now you are in my power, now I can pour out my love on you.' ~Callimachus

This dark yet comedic play will be presented as an interactive live performance/video experience.

A unique combination of medieval and digital creativity told through live performance/pre-recorded theatre, providing participants with an opportunity to experience a very classical work in a thoroughly modern way.

Callimachus was written in the 10th century by the first known female playwright Roswitha.
