Prometheus Shrugs / Indelible by John Bavoso

5/29/2020

This week we're performing two plays by one playwright.

Prometheus Shrugs
The eagle charged with eating Prometheus’s liver each day is growing weary of the routine. But when Heracles shows up to free the titan, the two unlikely friends are forced to decide whether to take a risk on a new life or stick with what they know.

Indelible
Markus is anxious. Preston is predictable. But when one of them makes a spontaneous move with permanent consequences, they're both forced to grapple with the future of their relationship.
