In the words of the god Dionysus himself: This is an ordinary tale made into an epic!

Move aside Odysseus and say hello to Anthisma, our very stressed protagonist.

Set in Ancient Greece, this original comedy and "kitchen sink drama" follows Anthisma, her father (Aplistos), their housekeeper (Lamprosa), her best friend (Evrostos), and two untimely guests (Pyknos and Paratolmos). And is narrated by Hamartia, an exiled member of The Greek Chorus.

Yes, the names are hard to pronounce. But it all aims to make you pee your pants!

Feel free to wear your finest toga, cheers to the gods, and watch the chaos unfold.
