Theatre Athena is bankrupt,
but if Amy can write a new play
to get a grant, they may survive.
All she has to do is convince
her boyfriend it’s written by an
Ancient Greek man, satisfy a
young diva, satisfy and aging
diva, bring her friend’s
boyfriend out of the closet and
resurrect their recently
deceased professor.

The Baltimore Messenger wrote, "Espey adroitly works out the
who-knows and who-doesn't-know aspects of this literary hoax...the
play's knowing references to both ancient and modern theater help
keep it grounded."
