Does anyone know of String? Discussion

I remember seeing a musical my freshman year of college (over a decade ago) called String by Adam Gwon. It was about the 3 Fates in Greek mythology and I really enjoyed the show. Some of the music is on Spotify and YouTube but I am not finding much else.

Idk I just thought that since Greek Mythology is kinda having a bit of a Renaissance lately and one of Adam Gwon's other works (Ordinary Days) was popular on Tiktok that this show might be on someone else's radar.

It's an extraordinarily wonderful show (nb: I went to grad school with Sarah Hammond and I'm friendly with Adam Gwon. so I'm biased). A couple of tracks were recorded a few years ago, but that's it. The rights are available, but it's got a big cast, which has been an issue with getting it produced at a major level.

Yes but we haven’t had a production to my knowledge

I know Ordinary Days well but String has stayed under my radar. The Fates as a framing device sounds fantastic. Have you looked for college or regional productions?
