    Burial at Thebes showed the world that modern playwrights could adapt stories and make them feel as if they were written in the times of the Greeks. Thank god Rossi lives in our time, so we can experience his ability to do so.

    Penthesilea takes a myth we all know, gives us a different side to it, and allows for a comedic drama of a war imbued bloodbath filled to the brim with myths and allegories. So as the description says, "It's time to go back to Troy. Will you join me?" I'm incredibly glad I said yes.
