Orb weavers! Weavers of tangled nets! All eight-legged ones... Cast to the four winds my story's thread. Arachne, classical literature's most famous weaver exhorts her spider minions in this epic adaptation of a famous Greek myth. The talented, rebellious teenage Arachne here tells her own story in unforgettable words. She speaks of her impoverished childhood and lonely, steadfast pursuit of excellence in a bold, passionate voice. Her unshakable belief in herself and persistent questioning of divine authority lead to a dramatic confrontation with the goddess Athena, a fateful weaving contest, and an unexpected transformation.
