A buoyant story that will have you laughing. I loved the magical realism of the Muse, which was a great source of humor, as well as the relationship between Hrosvitha and Clarice. Any historical fiction that queers historical figures is something I want to read! This play is entertaining, sweet, and has a great, basic feminist message.

There's much to enjoy here in this clever mix of history, hagiography, and classical theater with a good vein of humor that runs throughout. The anachronisms of the Muse that were peppered throughout the script were especially very amusing indeed. You learn much from this play, but you also are very entertained in the presentation of a subject that many may not have been previously aware. This would definitely be a great night of theater to attend!

Charming! Delightful! Anderson was clearly touched by the Muse herself when she wrote this full length play about the first-known woman playwright. The characters are fully formed, the story crystal clear, and the anachronistic elements seamlessly incorporated. And what a beautiful, poignant twist she gifts us with at the end. This play is a wonder. Highly recommend.
