A heartfelt and fresh look at Pandora's burden and gift. Very creative dialogue would make this a wonderful treat for audiences and actors.

HOPE
The physical embodiment of Hope. Inspired by both Emily Dickinson’s “‘Hope’ is the thing with feathers” and this Tweet from @CrowsFault, “People speak of hope as if it is this delicate, ephemeral thing made of whispers and spider’s webs. It’s not. Hope has dirt on her face, blood on her knuckles, the grit of the cobblestones in her hair, and just spat out a tooth as she rises for another go.”
