DESCRIPTION OF PIECE

​In this anachronistic tragic farce with an all-woman cast, the playwright Aeschylus runs into a modern convenience store with a bleeding head wound. He begs the clerk to call an ambulance, but the guy reveals himself to be a stubborn sophist who insists he prove he's bleeding to death before he'll help. This play has everything: fruitless philosophical debate! Furries! Life! Death! Laundromats! Colorful facsimiles of sex organs!
