When Colossus Falls

by Eugenie Carabatsos

The Riverview B&B hasn't seen a guest in ages. When one finally arrives, the inhabitants' lives are thrown into a tailspin as they try to figure out who she is, why she’s there, and what she's doing walking through the rubble from a burned down building across the street.

    A moving story of finding oneself stuck in the past and finding the journey forward. Well done.

    This compelling play exhibits all the magic and mystery of a well-crafted drama written by a playwright with a unique voice. Like the setting for this story, these characters have complicated pasts, and the action that unfolds onstage is a revelatory exploration of a tragic human collision course.
