As If, Cassandra

    Very funny modern take on the tragic character. The cheerleader chorus works so well even just on paper- I'd love to see all the fun staging that this play could take on. A great running joke about whether or not the main character has broken up with her boyfriend plays so well at all the right moments. A delight for fans of mythology and just a great standalone play!
