Local playwright Marian Berges takes the time-honored Greek myth about a wronged woman with a score to settle, and reconfigures it into the story of a modern jet-setting "execu-diva" in a fractured world of absurdity. A quirky cultural critique with a wicked sense of humor.
Featuring Cory Censoprano, Dakota Fry, Joe Estlack, and Jan Zvaifler. Directed by Gary Graves, costumes by Tammy Berlin, video by Pauline Luppert, sound by Gregory Scharpen & stage management by Alandra Hileman.
